Imagemin plugin for OptiPNG
$ npm install imagemin-optipng
const imagemin = require('imagemin');
const imageminOptipng = require('imagemin-optipng');
(async () => {
await imagemin(['images/*.png'], 'build/images', {
use: [
imageminOptipng()
]
});
console.log('Images optimized!');
})();
Returns a Promise<Buffer>.
Type: object
Type: number
Default: 3
Select an optimization level between 0 and 7.
The optimization level 0 enables a set of optimization operations that require minimal effort. There will be no changes to image attributes like bit depth or color type, and no recompression of existing IDAT datastreams. The optimization level 1 enables a single IDAT compression trial. The trial chosen is what. OptiPNG thinks it’s probably the most effective. The optimization levels 2 and higher enable multiple IDAT compression trials; the higher the level, the more trials.
Level and trials:
Type: boolean
Default: true
Apply bit depth reduction.
Type: boolean
Default: true
Apply color type reduction.
Type: boolean
Default: true
Apply palette reduction.
Type: boolean | undefined | null
Default: false
Enable Adam7 PNG interlacing on any images that are processed. Interlaced images look better when they're loaded partially, but usually interlace makes compression less efficient. Set to undefined or null to keep the same interlacing as the input image.
Type: boolean
Default: true
A reasonable amount of effort will be spent to try to recover as much data as possible of a broken image, but the success cannot generally be guaranteed.
Type: Buffer
Buffer to optimize.
imagemin-pngquant is another Imagemin plugin that uses the pngquant library to compress PNG images. It is known for providing lossy compression, which can result in smaller file sizes compared to imagemin-optipng, but with a potential loss in image quality.
imagemin-zopfli is an Imagemin plugin that uses the Zopfli compression algorithm to optimize PNG images. It provides high compression ratios, often better than imagemin-optipng, but at the cost of longer compression times.
imagemin-pngcrush is an Imagemin plugin that uses the PNGCrush optimizer to reduce the file size of PNG images. It offers various optimization strategies and can be a good alternative to imagemin-optipng for certain use cases.
