Hey @yogeshbeniwal thanks for the issue. I've been thinking along the same lines, in part to get support for more modern formats into WordPress installs where the backend doesn't support those formats. I am tracking the work here: adamsilverstein/modern-images-wp#18

@xfalcox Very cool! In WordPress we always upload the user's original image because the system may need to re-generate sub sized images at any time, for example if they change themes.

Amazing idea, I had similar thoughts. @yogeshbeniwal did you progress this in any way by any chance?
