Image Optimizer

Image optimization and compression tool for the console. This tool optimizes PNG, JPEG and GIF files, using gifsicle, jpegoptim, jpegtran, pngcrush and pngout and can usually reduce the filesize by 10% to 70%., _(*1)

As optimzing images is CPU intensive and it may take several minutes for a larger PNG file, image-optimizer keeps track of which image files it has optimized. Each image file will only be optimize once, unless the --force flag is set., _(*2)

image-optimizer is intended to be run unattended in a cronjob., _(*3)

Example Usage

Optimize Images In /path/to/images

image-optimizer --path="/path/to/images"

Optimize Images In /path/to/images, Ignoring History

image-optimizer --path="/path/to/images" --force

Set All Images In /path/to/images As Optimized

image-optimizer --path="/path/to/images" --index-only
