The ImageBitmap interface represents a bitmap image which can be drawn to a <canvas> without undue latency. It can be created from a variety of source objects using the Window.createImageBitmap() or WorkerGlobalScope.createImageBitmap() factory method. ImageBitmap provides an asynchronous and resource efficient pathway to prepare textures for rendering in WebGL.

ImageBitmap is a transferable object.
