onadiet

Put your files on a diet.

Shrink PDFs, images, and folders under a size limit — locally, on your machine, with no uploads. Safe by default, and it tells you exactly what it did.

[!NOTE] On npm now (v0.1.0). diet slims PDFs, images, SVGs, and folders end-to-end today (hit a target size, hold a quality floor, honest receipts) — proven against real-file golden corpora. Install with npm i -g onadiet (or npx onadiet); it is early (0.x), so the API may still move. brew install is next.

Install

brew install onadiet        # macOS — installs the `diet` command
npm i -g onadiet            # global; then just `diet …`
npx onadiet report.pdf      # zero-install, one-off

The command is diet (with onadiet as an alias).

Use (planned)

diet report.pdf --to 5mb            # hit a "goal weight" (--to / --under / --goal)
diet weigh report.pdf               # what does it weigh, what's heavy? (no writes)
diet plan  report.pdf --to 5mb      # dry-run: what it WOULD do
diet check ./public --max 25mb      # CI weigh-in: pass/fail a budget, honest exit codes
diet checkup                        # which engines/codecs are available

Quality is a diet plan, not a raw flag: --plan cleanse | balanced | lowcarb | keto | crash (lossless → tiny). Everything speaks --json for scripts and agents. Safe by default: never overwrites, skips anything it would make bigger, writes atomically, refuses to silently break a signed PDF.

Full walkthrough: usage docs. This CLI is a thin shell over the engine in @onadiet/core.
