You can batch compress images by running the CLI script on a folder. It processes directories recursively, automatically selecting the best available tool to minimize file size while preserving visual quality.

Automating image compression for product photos is handled by running the CLI tool on the folder. It applies per-file compression with configurable format and quality settings, outputting size reduction ratios for each image.

You do not strictly need sharp as the tool automatically detects other available utilities like sips, cwebp, and ImageMagick. It dynamically selects the best installed option to perform the compression.

You can control output quality and format when compressing JPEG and PNG files. The tool allows configurable format selection, including WebP and PNG, alongside adjustable quality settings to balance file size and fidelity.

Recursive directory processing works by traversing folders and applying per-file compression to all supported images inside. It outputs a detailed report of input and output sizes as well as compression ratios.

Using sharp for image compression provides an automated fallback when other tools are absent. The script intelligently evaluates your environment and selects the optimal available utility, including ImageMagick or cwebp, to minimize file size.
