grunt-contrib-imagemin Build Status

Minify PNG and JPEG images

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-contrib-imagemin --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-imagemin');

Imagemin task

Run this task with the grunt imagemin command.

Task targets, files and options may be specified according to the grunt Configuring tasks guide.

Minify images using OptiPNG and jpegtran.

Options

optimizationLevel (png only)

Type: Number
Default: 0

Select optimization level between 0 and 7.

The optimization level 0 enables a set of optimization operations that require minimal effort. There will be no changes to image attributes like bit depth or color type, and no recompression of existing IDAT datastreams. The optimization level 1 enables a single IDAT compression trial. The trial chosen is what. OptiPNG thinks it’s probably the most effective. The optimization levels 2 and higher enable multiple IDAT compression trials; the higher the level, the more trials.

Level and trials:

  1. 1 trial
  2. 8 trials
  3. 16 trials
  4. 24 trials
  5. 48 trials
  6. 120 trials
  7. 240 trials

progressive (jpg only)

Type: Boolean
Default: false

Lossless conversion to progressive.

Example config

grunt.initConfig({
  imagemin: {                          // Task
    dist: {                            // Target
      options: {                       // Target options
        optimizationLevel: 3
      },
      files: {                         // Dictionary of files
        'dist/img.png': 'src/img.png', // 'destination': 'source'
        'dist/img.jpg': 'src/img.jpg'
      }
    },
    dev: {                             // Another target
      options: {                       // Target options
        optimizationLevel: 0
      },
      files: {
        'dev/img.png': 'src/img.png',
        'dev/img.jpg': 'src/img.jpg'
      }
    }
  }
});

grunt.registerTask('default', ['imagemin']);
