[Squoosh] is an image compression web app that allows you to dive into the advanced options provided
by various image compressors.
# CLI
[Squoosh now has a CLI](https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/tree/dev/cli) that allows you to compress many images at once.

# Squoosh CLI
Squoosh CLI is an _experimental_ way to run all the codecs you know from the [Squoosh] web app on your command line using WebAssembly. The Squoosh CLI uses a worker pool to parallelize processing images. This way you can apply the same codec to many images at once.
Squoosh CLI is currently not the fastest image compression tool in town and doesnt aim to be on the thrown. It is, however, fast enough to compress many images sufficiently quick at once.
## Installation
The Squoosh CLI can be used straight from the command line without installing using `npx`:
```
$ npx @squoosh/cli <options...>
```
Of course, you can also install the Squoosh CLI:
```
$ npm i -g @squoosh/cli
$ squoosh-cli <options...>
```
## Usage
```
Usage: squoosh-cli [options] <files...>
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-d, --output-dir <dir> Output directory (default: ".")
-s, --suffix <suffix> Append suffix to output files (default: "")
--max-optimizer-rounds <rounds> Maximum number of compressions to use for auto optimizations (default: "6")
--optimizer-butteraugli-target <butteraugli distance> Target Butteraugli distance for auto optimizer (default: "1.4")
--resize [config] Resize the image before compressing
--quant [config] Reduce the number of colors used (aka. paletting)
--rotate [config] Rotate image
--avif [config] Use AVIF to generate a .avif file with the given configuration
--jxl [config] Use JPEG-XL to generate a .jxl file with the given configuration
--wp2 [config] Use WebP2 to generate a .wp2 file with the given configuration
--oxipng [config] Use OxiPNG to generate a .png file with the given configuration
-h, --help display help for command
```
The default values for each `config` option can be found in the [`codecs.js`][codecs.js] file under `defaultEncoderOptions`. Every unspecified value will use the default value specified here. _Better documentation is needed here._
## Auto optimizer
Squoosh CLI has an _experimental_ auto optimizer that compresses an image as much as possible, trying to hit a specific [Butteraugli] target value. The higher the Butteraugli target value, the more artifacts can be introduced.
You can make use of the auto optimizer buy using “auto” as the config object.

$ npx @squoosh/cli --wp2 auto test.png
