Effort
A few weeks

Many applications still experience crashes and security issues from malformed image files.

Provide a hardened cloud service that accepts uploaded media and returns safely processed versions. Handle all parsing in memory-safe environments.

Charge per processed image with volume discounts.

Start with WebP support. Expand to other formats later.

Risk: Latency may be unacceptable for some real-time uses.
