343dev/optimizt repository overview

⁠@343dev/optimizt⁠

Optimizt is a command-line tool that helps prepare images for the web.

It can compress PNG, JPEG, GIF, and SVG lossy or lossless, and create AVIF and WebP versions for raster images.

⁠Rationale

As frontend developers, we have to care about pictures: compress PNG and JPEG, remove useless parts of SVG, create AVIF and WebP for modern browsers, and so on. One day, we got tired of using a bunch of apps for that, and created one tool that does everything we want.

⁠Usage

# mount current directory to /src in the container
docker run --rm --volume $(pwd):/src 343dev/optimizt --webp ./image.png

⁠Command Line Flags

• --avif — create AVIF versions of images.
• --webp — create WebP versions of images.
• -f, --force — recreate AVIF and WebP versions even if they already exist.
• -l, --lossless — optimize losslessly instead of lossily.
• -v, --verbose — show detailed output (e.g. skipped files).
• -c, --config — use a custom configuration file instead of the default.
• -o, --output — write results to the specified directory.
• -p, --prefix — add prefix to optimized file names.
• -s, --suffix — add suffix to optimized file names.
• -V, --version — display the tool version.
• -h, --help — show help message.
