API to create an image (with text/details) and display it

I've not tried it (yet) but the ImageMagick folks list a WASM interface for the library, which means this functionality could (in theory) be done client-side (in the browser) without the need to deal with any API stuff.

Pushing The Limits Of The Modern Browser

I've gone with ImageMagick ported to WebAssembly to do basically the exact same things as with FFMpeg, but with a tiny bit less locking up. In the future I would like to get these things running in multithreaded Web Workers as well as have the ability to easily configure transcode settings to whatever is desired instead of the defaults as it is now.
Browsers can do that?

When it comes to audio/video the trusted tool that is often used on the desktop is FFmpeg and this too has been ported to run in the browser, although if you want multithreading you will need to make sure you have special CORS headers enabled to gain access to the SharedArrayBuffer. For images on desktop there is the popular ImageMagick which indeed also has been ported.
