How would you design a microservice, that does not depend on another?

Microservice 1 <-> on call engineer copy pasting <-> Microservice 2
Send a JSON package with some HTML and dimensions, get back a JSON package with links to that HTML rendered as JPEGs at the requested dimensions.
At some point you are going to have another service that uses this HTML->JPEG service though. That would be a dependency, at least in my view (ie, if the HTML->JPEG service goes down, something else will break).

Or are all microservices user facing?
