- Can you support more formats besides Webp and PNG?
- Too much text on the interface - This reads more like a landing page for a startup than a SPA tool. Compare to e.g. [0]
A trustworthy utility page should look like a CSS-less crappy HTML form.
Why would you want to do it in a browser anyway? Just run it local. There are many open source image editors and converters to choose from.
ImageMagick is one: https://imagemagick.org/
GIMP is another: https://www.gimp.org/
Krita is another: https://krita.org/en/
When you install an application you can vet the version you want to use, keep the installer so you can always reinstall the same version, and it only changes when you change it. That's much better control.
Luckily, all of the image editors I listed are well known and trustworthy. They're good tools. You're much better off learning them and making full use of their capability than using some limited web based image converter.
Maybe having an ImageEncoder API might be worthwhile after all then https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/issues/204.
