About:
ImageOptim-CLI is a command-line wrapper for the ImageOptim, ImageAlpha, and JPEGmini Mac GUI applications. It enables batch processing of images directly from the terminal, automating compression workflows without requiring manual interaction. This tool is ideal for developers looking to optimize web assets as part of their build pipeline.
Key Features:
  • Batch processes images via command line
  • Integrates with ImageOptim, ImageAlpha, and JPEGmini
  • Preserves metadata and transparency
  • Supports drag-and-drop and file paths
Use Cases:
  • Automating image optimization in CI/CD pipelines
  • Compressing large batches of web assets locally
  • Reducing image file sizes for performance optimization
Alternatives:
  • imagemin – Node.js-based alternative that runs on any platform, whereas ImageOptim-CLI is macOS-specific but uses best-in-class native optimizers.
  • optipng – Open-source PNG optimizer that is cross-platform but lacks the GUI integration and multi-format support of ImageOptim-CLI.
