Clicking a link in a web browser means that any image decoding happens in the browser renderer sandbox.
That sandbox is pretty robust - the difficulty of finding an exploit somewhere in a browser renderer is much lower than the difficulty of finding a way out of the sandbox the renderer runs in.

An attacker can send a link that will open in an app (eg. Instagram, facebook). Also within browsers could this still leak whatever is currently rendering on the page?
