this picture throw vips::VError("Processed image is too large for the WebP format");

"WebP is bitstream-compatible with VP8 and uses 14 bits for width and height. The maximum pixel dimensions of a WebP image is 16383 x 16383."

maybe can add a parameter "fit_max_size" and auto resize the picture
for example

   sharp(data).webp({
        quality: 75,fit_max_size:true
    })

I think that option might introduce too much complexity. Would having the resultant too-large dimension(s) in the error message help?

The webp developers plan to fix this by adding support for tiled images.

Unfortunately webp has lost some momentum over the last few years and I don't know if they expect to add this feature any time soon.

There's also WEBP in TIFF as a way of supporting larger images, see: libvips/libvips#1325
