node-jpeg-recompress-bin

About

jpeg-recompress (part of JPEG Archive) Node.js wrapper that optimize JPEG images.

Compress JPEGs by re-encoding to the smallest JPEG quality while keeping perceived visual quality the same and by making sure huffman tables are optimized. This is a lossy operation, but the images are visually identical and it usually saves 30-70% of the size for JPEGs coming from a digital camera, particularly DSLRs. By default all EXIF/IPTC/XMP and color profile metadata is copied over, but this can be disabled to save more space if desired.

Install

$ npm install -g jpeg-recompress-bin

Usage with Node.js

var execFile = require('child_process').execFile;
var jpegRecompress = require('jpeg-recompress-bin').path;

execFile(jpegRecompress, ['--quality high', '--min 60', 'input.jpg', 'output.jpg'], function(err) {
  if (err) {
    throw err;
  }
  
  console.log('Image minified');
});
