I need to resize lots of very large images (20mb+) in a reasonable timeframe so I was considering using web assembly for it. Does that seem like a good fit? I have never used WASM before so I am wondering if its worth it.

It sounds like quite a good fit.

If you have a simple resizing algorithm I would consider using WebGPU/WebGL and a fragment shader to do it though.
