Fast batch recursive compression for png, jpg, and gif images using pngquant, jpegoptim, and gifsicle (supports both lossless and lossy compression)
Two scripts are available:
optimizer.sh saves compressed images to a folder named <dir-optimized> in the same directory as the original <dir>;
replace.sh compresses images and directly replaces the originals.
Open a terminal, cd to the current directory, then execute the shell script:
$ sh optimizer.sh <dir>
or
$ ./optimizer.sh <dir>
$ sh replace.sh <dir>
or
$ ./replace.sh <dir>
You can also execute from any path without cd'ing to the current directory:
// Using replace.sh to compress images and directly replace originals
$ sh /Users/mountainx/Documents/MLImageOptimizer/replace.sh /Users/mountainx/Documents/Images
// Using optimizer.sh to compress images, preserve originals, and save compressed images to '<dir-optimized>' folder
$ sh /Users/mountainx/Documents/MLImageOptimizer/optimizer.sh /Users/mountainx/Documents/Images
Lossy compression ratio or lossless compression can be modified in optimizer.sh and replace.sh, referring to the command options for pngquant, jpegoptim, and gifsicle below
if using '$ ./optimizer.sh <dir>' and command line tool prints error: 'Permission denied', please modify privileges using '$ chmod 777 optimizer.sh'
$ pngquant -h
pngquant, 2.12.3 (January 2019), by Kornel Lesinski, Greg Roelofs.
Color profiles are supported via Little CMS. Using libpng 1.6.26.
usage: pngquant [options] [ncolors] -- pngfile [pngfile ...]
pngquant [options] [ncolors] - >stdout <stdin
options:
--force overwrite existing output files (synonym: -f)
--skip-if-larger only save converted files if they're smaller than original
--output file destination file path to use instead of --ext (synonym: -o)
--ext new.png set custom suffix/extension for output filenames
--quality min-max don't save below min, use fewer colors below max (0-100)
--speed N speed/quality trade-off. 1=slow, 4=default, 11=fast & rough
--nofs disable Floyd-Steinberg dithering
--posterize N output lower-precision color (e.g. for ARGB4444 output)
--strip remove optional metadata (default on Mac)
--verbose print status messages (synonym: -v)
Quantizes one or more 32-bit RGBA PNGs to 8-bit (or smaller) RGBA-palette.
The output filename is the same as the input name except that
it ends in "-fs8.png", "-or8.png" or your custom extension (unless the
input is stdin, in which case the quantized image will go to stdout).
If you pass the special output path "-" and a single input file, that file
will be processed and the quantized image will go to stdout.
The default behavior if the output file exists is to skip the conversion;
use --force to overwrite. See man page for full list of options.
$ jpegoptim -h
jpegoptim v1.4.6 Copyright (C) 1996-2018, Timo Kokkonen
Usage: jpegoptim [options] <filenames>
-d<path>, --dest=<path>
specify alternative destination directory for
optimized files (default is to overwrite originals)
-f, --force force optimization
-h, --help display this help and exit
-m<quality>, --max=<quality>
set maximum image quality factor (disables lossless
optimization mode, which is by default on)
Valid quality values: 0 - 100
-n, --noaction don't really optimize files, just print results
-S<size>, --size=<size>
Try to optimize file to given size (disables lossless
optimization mode). Target size is specified either in
kilo bytes (1 - n) or as percentage (1% - 99%)
-T<threshold>, --threshold=<threshold>
keep old file if the gain is below a threshold (%)
-b, --csv print progress info in CSV format
-o, --overwrite overwrite target file even if it exists (meaningful
only when used with -d, --dest option)
-p, --preserve preserve file timestamps
-P, --preserve-perms
preserve original file permissions by overwriting it
-q, --quiet quiet mode
-t, --totals print totals after processing all files
-v, --verbose enable verbose mode (positively chatty)
-V, --version print program version
-s, --strip-all strip all markers from output file
--strip-none do not strip any markers
--strip-com strip Comment markers from output file
--strip-exif strip Exif markers from output file
--strip-iptc strip IPTC/Photoshop (APP13) markers from output file
--strip-icc strip ICC profile markers from output file
--strip-xmp strip XMP markers markers from output file
--all-normal force all output files to be non-progressive
--all-progressive force all output files to be progressive
--stdout send output to standard output (instead of a file)
--stdin read input from standard input (instead of a file)
$ gifsicle -h
