Things you might not know about Next Image
The Next Image API serves as an image proxy, similar to IPX. It performs the following tasks:
-
Is there a library that automatically lowers down resolution and compresses image?
You should check out ipx which is a simplified implementation of the sharp library mentioned in another comment.

Go Image Converting
h2non/bimg can handle both if the underlying libvips is compiled with support for both formats.

WASM instead of C Dependencies?
I have web applications written in Rust and Go that need some basic image processing (reading JPEGs, PNGs, writing JPEGs, WebPs, AVIFs and resizing). This is something I always struggle with, because most libraries for image processing are written in C (libpng, libwebp, mozjpeg; or higher-level ones like vips). While there are usually dependencies in each language build on top of those C dependencies, like bimg for Go, I don’t like having C dependencies in a Rust, Go or even Node.js projects.

Image Compression with Golang
For image processing, I will use the bimg library because in my opinion it has a very intuitive API and is easy to use, in addition to being very fast.
What are some alternatives?
imaginary - Fast, simple, scalable, Docker-ready HTTP microservice for high-level image processing
govips - A lightning fast image processing and resizing library for Go
imgproxy - Fast and secure standalone server for resizing and converting remote images
docker-nginx-image-proxy - on the fly image cropping with gravity, resize and compression microservice
imaging - Imaging is a simple image processing package for Go
libvips - A fast image processing library with low memory needs.
bild - Image processing algorithms in pure Go
molder - Image molder (processor) service using Sharp, gRPC and Node.js
goimagehash - Go Perceptual image hashing package
mort - Storage and image processing server written in Go
fastimage - Finds the type and/or size of a remote image given its uri, by fetching as little as needed.
