Images Minifier

images-minifier is a small CLI that copies an image directory, then compresses the copied images or converts them to WebP.

It works on a whole folder at once, so your original images stay untouched.

Installation

npm install -g images-minifier

Usage

imini <input_dir> <output_dir>

Options

--beautify-dir, -b Beautify the output directory structure. Default: false

--use-webp, -w Convert images to .webp instead of compressing their original format. This now works after a normal npm install with no extra WebP package to install.

Examples

imini ./images ./compressed-images

Convert everything to WebP:

imini --use-webp ./images ./compressed-images

Beautify the copied folder structure before processing:

imini --beautify-dir ./images ./compressed-images

Programmatic usage

const { minifyImages } = require("images-minifier");

await minifyImages("./compressed-images", { webp: true });
