Command line tool and ruby interface to optimize (lossless compress, optionally lossy) jpeg, png, gif and svg images using external utilities:
- advpng from AdvanceCOMP (will use zopfli on default/maximum level 4)
- gifsicle
- jhead
- jpegoptim
- jpeg-recompress
- jpegtran from Independent JPEG Group's JPEG library
- optipng
- oxipng
- pngcrush
- pngout
- pngquant
- svgo
Based on ImageOptim.app.
Documentation for latest gem version and master branch.
A test application with latest image_optim
and image_optim_pack
is available on render: https://iopack.onrender.com/.
gem install image_optim
You may also want to install image_optim_pack
(see Binaries pack).
gem install image_optim_pack
Add to your Gemfile
:
gem 'image_optim'
With image_optim_pack
:
gem 'image_optim'
gem 'image_optim_pack'
With version:
gem 'image_optim', '~> 0.31'
If you want to check latest changes:
gem 'image_optim', :git => 'git://github.com/toy/image_optim.git'
This gem is also be available as docker image containing most binaries:
docker run --rm ghcr.io/toy/image_optim --version # image_optim version
docker run --rm ghcr.io/toy/image_optim --info # image_optim info including bin versions
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/here -w /here ghcr.io/toy/image_optim image-in-this-folder.jpg
See image_optim_pack repository for Dockerfile and instructions.
Simplest way for image_optim
to locate binaries is to install them in common location present in PATH
(see Binaries installation).
If you cannot install to common location, then install to custom one and add it to PATH
.
Specify custom bin location using XXX_BIN
environment variable (JPEGOPTIM_BIN
, OPTIPNG_BIN
, โฆ).
Besides permanently setting environment variables in ~/.profile
, ~/.bash_profile
, ~/.bashrc
, ~/.zshrc
, โฆ they can be set:
-
before command:
PATH="/custom/location:$PATH" image_optim *.jpg
for example:
PATH="/Applications/ImageOptim.app/Contents/MacOS:$PATH" image_optim *.jpg
-
inside script:
ENV['PATH'] = "/custom/location:#{ENV['PATH']}"; ImageOptim.optimize_images([โฆ])
for example:
ENV['PATH'] = "/Applications/ImageOptim.app/Contents/MacOS:#{ENV['PATH']}"; ImageOptim.optimize_images([โฆ])
Easiest way to get latest versions of most binaries for image_optim
for Linux and Mac OS X is by installing image_optim_pack
gem.
Check installation instructions in Gem installation section.
Pack doesn't include pngout
and svgo
binaries, their installation instructions are provided below.
sudo apt-get install -y advancecomp gifsicle jhead jpegoptim libjpeg-progs optipng pngcrush pngquant
If you get an old version of pngquant
, please check how to install up-to-date version or compile from source at http://pngquant.org/.
sudo yum install -y advancecomp gifsicle jhead libjpeg optipng pngquant
You may also need to install libjpeg-turbo-utils
instead of libjpeg
:
sudo yum install -y libjpeg-turbo-utils
You will also need to install jpegoptim
and pngcrush
from source:
Replace X.Y.Z
with latest version number from http://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.html#jpegoptim.
JPEGOPTIM_VERSION=X.Y.Z
cd /tmp
curl -O http://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/src/jpegoptim-$JPEGOPTIM_VERSION.tar.gz
tar zxf jpegoptim-$JPEGOPTIM_VERSION.tar.gz
cd jpegoptim-$JPEGOPTIM_VERSION
./configure && make && make install
Replace X.Y.Z
with latest version number from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmt/files/pngcrush/.
PNGCRUSH_VERSION=X.Y.Z
cd /tmp
curl -O http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pmt/pngcrush/$PNGCRUSH_VERSION/pngcrush-$PNGCRUSH_VERSION.tar.gz
tar zxf pngcrush-$PNGCRUSH_VERSION.tar.gz
cd pngcrush-$PNGCRUSH_VERSION
make && cp -f pngcrush /usr/local/bin
sudo port install advancecomp gifsicle jhead jpegoptim jpeg optipng pngcrush pngquant
brew install advancecomp gifsicle jhead jpegoptim jpeg optipng oxipng pngcrush pngquant jonof/kenutils/pngout
Unless it is available in your chosen package manager, can be installed using cargo:
cargo install oxipng
If you installed the dependencies via brew, pngout should be installed already. Otherwise, you can install pngout
by downloading and installing the binary versions.
Note: pngout is free to use even in commercial soft, but you can not redistribute, repackage or reuse it without consent and agreement of creator. license
svgo
is available from NPM.
npm install -g svgo
If you prefer to install svgo
to your project directory, use one of the following commands instead:
npm install svgo
yarn add svgo
When installing svgo
to the project directory, you must add the following to your environment:
SVGO_BIN='node_modules/svgo/bin/svgo'
Download and install the jpeg-recompress
binary from the JPEG-Archive Releases page,
or follow the instructions to build from source.
image_optim *.{jpg,png,gif,svg}
image_optim -r .
image_optim -h
Initialize optimizer (or you can call optimization methods directly on ImageOptim
):
image_optim = ImageOptim.new
image_optim = ImageOptim.new(:pngout => false)
image_optim = ImageOptim.new(:nice => 20)
Optimize image getting temp path:
image_optim.optimize_image('a.png')
Optimize image in place:
image_optim.optimize_image!('b.jpg')
Optimize image data:
image_optim.optimize_image_data(data)
Multiple images:
image_optim.optimize_images(Dir['*.png']) do |unoptimized, optimized|
if optimized
puts "#{unoptimized} => #{optimized}"
end
end
image_optim.optimize_images!(Dir['*.*'])
image_optim.optimize_images_data(datas)
Rails image assets optimization is extracted into image_optim_rails gem.
Configuration in YAML format will be read and prepended to options from two paths:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/image_optim.yml
(by default~/.config/image_optim.yml
).image_optim.yml
in current working directory
Paths can be changed using :config_paths
option and --config-paths
argument.
Example configuration:
nice: 20
pngout: false # disable
optipng:
level: 5
image_optim
uses standard ruby library for creating temporary files. Temporary directory can be changed using one of TMPDIR
, TMP
or TEMP
environment variables.
