Aggressive image optimizer cli

This CLI tries to bring all images to a size of 500kb without losing to much quality. You can see the results in this repo (HQ_unsplash1.jpg original to reduced unsplash1 copy.jpg). It uses pillow package to accomplish that.

Install

It's recommended to use pipx to install package, but pip should work as well.

pipx install aggimg

Usage

You can specify path to folder which contains images you want to shrink/optimize image size.

aggimg --path ./images

You can also don't specify the path and aggimg will look into current directory for images.

aggimg

Images that start with HQ_ prefix will ignored.

$: aggimg --path ./images
