Batch compress images by targeting a directory to recursively process webp, png, and jpeg files. You can optionally retain originals and output a JSON summary detailing the compression results for the entire batch run.

Automatically convert png and jpeg files to webp by selecting the best available compression tool from sips, cwebp, ImageMagick, or Sharp. This minimizes file sizes while preserving image quality across different operating systems.

No, ImageMagick is not strictly required. The tool automatically detects the best available compression utility across platforms, sequentially checking for sips, cwebp, ImageMagick, and Sharp to process your images.

Yes, you can keep original images during batch processing. The tool provides an optional retention feature to preserve your source files while saving the compressed webp, png, or jpeg outputs alongside them.

Automatic tool selection works by sequentially detecting available system utilities from sips to cwebp, ImageMagick, and Sharp. It enforces cross-platform tool detection to ensure safe file handling and optimal image compression.

Compressing images with Sharp provides a robust fallback when command line tools like sips or cwebp are unavailable. It ensures consistent cross-platform image optimization, reducing file sizes while preserving quality for webp, png, and jpeg formats.
