image_optim
Optimize (lossless compress, optionally lossy) images (jpeg, png, gif, svg) using external utilities:
Based on ImageOptim.app.
Documentation for latest version and master.
Gem installation
gem install image_optim
You may also want to install image_optim_pack
(see Binaries pack).
gem install image_optim_pack
Bundler
Add to your Gemfile
:
gem 'image_optim'
With image_optim_pack
:
gem 'image_optim'
gem 'image_optim_pack'
With version:
gem 'image_optim', '~> 0.11'
If you want to check latest changes:
gem 'image_optim', :git => 'git://github.com/toy/image_optim.git'
Binaries location
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
, …).
Besides permanently setting environment variables in ~/.profile
, ~/.bash_profile
, ~/.bashrc
, ~/.zshrc
, … 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([…])
for example:
ENV['PATH'] = "/Applications/ImageOptim.app/Contents/MacOS:#{ENV['PATH']}"; ImageOptim.optimize_images([…])
Binaries installation
Binaries pack
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.
Linux - Debian/Ubuntu
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/.
Linux - RHEL/Fedora/Centos
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:
jpegoptim
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-$JPEGOPTIM_VERSION
./configure && make && make install
pngcrush
Replace X.Y.Z
with latest version number from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmt/files/pngcrush/.
PNGCRUSH_VERSION=X.Y.Z
cd /tmp
curl -O http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pmt/pngcrush/$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
OS X: Macports
sudo port install advancecomp gifsicle jhead jpegoptim jpeg optipng pngcrush pngquant
OS X: Brew
brew install advancecomp gifsicle jhead jpegoptim jpeg optipng pngcrush pngquant
pngout installation (optional)
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 installation (optional)
svgo
is available from NPM.
npm install -g svgo
jpeg-recompress installation (optional)
Download and install the jpeg-recompress
binary from the JPEG-Archive Releases page,
or follow the instructions to build from source.
Usage
From shell
image_optim *.{jpg,png,gif,svg}
image_optim -r .
image_optim -h
From ruby
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)
From rails
ImageOptim::Railtie
will automatically register sprockets preprocessor unless you set config.assets.image_optim = false
or config.assets.compress = false
(later for partial rails 3 compatibility).
You can provide options for image_optim used for preprocessor through config config.assets.image_optim = {nice: 20, svgo: false}
(ruby1.8 style: {:nice => 20, :svgo => false}
).
Check available options in options section.
Image optimization can be time consuming, so depending on your deployment process you may prefer to optimize original asset files.
Configuration
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
optipng:
level: 5
