You can batch compress images to WebP by running the script on a directory tree with recursive processing enabled. It automatically selects the best available tool to reduce file sizes for improved page load times.

Image compression works with Sharp as a fallback if cwebp or ImageMagick is missing. The script automatically discovers and selects the best available tool, starting with sips on macOS, then cwebp, ImageMagick, and Sharp.

You can compress a directory recursively while keeping originals by using the optional keep flag. This ensures safe handling of original files while producing optimized WebP or PNG outputs in batch workflows.

The best way to convert PNG files to WebP is using an automated CLI tool that handles output format selection and quality control. This approach selects the optimal compression utility to produce WebP outputs while maintaining visual fidelity.

You generate JSON output for batch image compression by running the script with reporting enabled. This produces JSON data detailing the compression results, which is useful for integrating into automated CLI batch workflows.
