Interesting. Is it fair to say you’ve created a web interface to standard image manipulation tools ?

If I understand it correctly, then yes, that's the case! I've utitlized several libraries such as "Browser Image Compression", "heic-to", and more, to wrap it in a web interface.
No, this is all happening in the browser, there are no other image manipulation tools being called.
Feature suggestion: add the option to remove metadata from an image.
EXIF data is removed by default, at the moment, there's no way to keep those data. I personally see that more as a feature than a bug though. The primary reason why there is no option to keep EXIF data is to maintain feature parity across different image formats.
I just tested the new release. Consider defaulting PNGs to convert to JPEGs unless they have a PNG-specific feature like transparency. Lots of screenshots are initially PNGs, but not because they need any PNG-specific features. Consider: In a test screenshot, it compressed 3.4% with the default 80% setting and PNG->PNG, but for PNG->JPG, it compressed 84.6%. 
The conversion option "Default" is meant to retain the file format when possible, but you can actively select the other options like jpg or webp if that fits your use case better.
Nice work. I was looking for something like this to self-host for my partner. Thank you for sharing!
Elegantly done!
This is excellent, grabbing this asap ✌️
