This is for in the future when I want to compress more images or anyone else for that matter. # Lossless ### https://squoosh.app/ Good at reducing the pallet, a first step for images that have a limited number of colors, bad at actually compressing things though, for all formats except WEBP and PNG. ## PNGs: Good ratios, though not as good as other options, though better compatibility. ### oxipng *(you can also use through squoosh with the same results)* Seems to be the best of all of the options, not sure if it's all you would need, but it did shrink pngs further than the other two tools afterwards. ```bash oxipng -o max --strip all --alpha ``` `all` may be replaced with `safe` if you want to be a bit safer. ### pngcrush Good, but should be ran before optipng, but isn't as good as it, use in tandom. ### optipng The second best tool to really shrink pngs to be as small as they can be. ## WEBP It's better than png, though I have a feeling more could be done to compress these ### cwebp So far this seems to be the best way to compress WEBP images with a command that kinda looks like this one: ```bash cwebp -lossless -z 9 in.webp -o out.webp ``` While for all other formats squoosh is not recommended, for WEBP it'll be identical due to cWEBP using the same libary as squoosh. ## AVIF As far as I can tell, this format just sucks at its job, at least for lossless images ## JPEGXL Really good at compression size, though it's not supported anywhere outside of Safari as of now. ### cjxl This command should do the trick for compressing: ```bash cjxl input.png output.jxl -q 100 -e 10 ``` # Vector ## SVGs: ### https://svgomg.net/ Great tool! If anyone knows how to squish them further, let me know! Some manual work may go a long way to help shrink SVGs, though I'm not doing that right now lol. I may look into other formats soon as well, though these are the main two I'm currently using.
