I really like this. Having image manipulation as a core standard library feature rather than an optional package makes complete sense to me for a web development platform in 2026.

It's not like image manipulation is a poorly understood problem or a fast-moving field.

You would think, but the initial implementation of this stripped ICC profiles (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/30197), and while that was fixed in time for the release, it still currently doesn't understand EXIF rotation metadata (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/30235) or high-bit-depth images (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/issues/30462)

Sure, but there's a finite list of things like that. I'll be surprised if there's anything notable outstanding like that within a month or two.
