Problem

• Images are too large because they are not optimized
• Users & your bandwidth is wasted for useless metadata
• local image optimization requires tons of programs / libaries / knowledge

Solution

• LOSSLESS size reduction (10-97% size reduction) in the cloud
• optmizes all images (jpg+png+[gif]) from a given folder

Usage

Optimize a single image or a whole folder in the cloud.

converting gif-s to png-s if specified on the arguments:

Usage: php smusher.php /images [options] php smusher.php /images/x.png [options]

Options are: -q, --quiet no output -c, --convert-gifs convert the given gif file or all .gif`s in the given folder -p, --pretend no changes are made -r, --recursive execute the action on all subdirectories

Protection

Any image that returns a failure code, is larger than before, or is empty will not be saved.

Example

php smusher.php /images
  smushing /images/facebook_icon.png
  2887 -> 132                              = 4%

  smushing /images/social/myspace_icon.png
  3136 -> 282                              = 8%

  smushing /images/dvd/dvd_1.png
  5045 -> 4                                = 0%
