optimo reduces image file size aggressively, and safely.

• Format-specific tuning for stronger size reduction.
• Safety guard: if optimized output is not smaller, original file is kept.
• Backed by proven tools: ImageMagick, SVGO, Gifsicle, and MozJPEG.
• Resizing supports percentage values (50%), max file size targets (100kB), width (w960), & height (h480).

npx -y optimo public/media            # for a directory
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png # for a file
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --losy # enable lossy + lossless mode
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --format jpeg # convert + optimize
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --resize 50% # resize + optimize
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --resize 100kB # resize to max file size
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --resize w960 # resize to max width
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.png --resize h480 # resize to max height
npx -y optimo public/media/banner.heic --dry-run --verbose # inspect unsupported failures

When optimo is executed, a pipeline of compressors is chosen based on the output file format:

• .png -> magick.png
• .svg -> svgo.svg
• .jpg/.jpeg -> magick.jpg/jpeg + mozjpegtran.jpg/jpeg
• .gif -> magick.gif + gifsicle.gif
• other formats (webp, avif, heic, heif, jxl, etc.) -> magick.<format>

Mode behavior:

• default: lossless-first pipeline.
• -l, --losy: lossy + lossless pass per matching compressor.
• -v, --verbose: print debug logs (selected pipeline, binaries, executed commands, and errors).

Example output:

✓ banner.jpg  1.2MB → 348kB  (-71%)

If the optimized file isn’t smaller, the original is kept.

const optimo = require('optimo')

// optimize a single file
await optimo.file('/absolute/path/image.jpg', {
  dryRun: false,
  losy: false,
  format: 'webp',
  resize: '50%',
  onLogs: console.log
})

await optimo.file('/absolute/path/image.jpg', {
  resize: '100kB',
  onLogs: console.log
})

await optimo.file('/absolute/path/image.jpg', {
  resize: 'w960',
  onLogs: console.log
})

// optimize a dir recursively
const result = await optimo.dir('/absolute/path/images')

console.log(result)
// {
//   originalSize: Number,
//   optimizedSize: Number,
//   savings: Number
// }
