A PHP library that optimizes PNG, JPG, WEBP, AVIF, SVG and GIF images by running them through a chain of installed optimization binaries like jpegoptim, pngquant, and gifsicle. It automatically detects available tools and overwrites images with smaller versions.

Use cases

• compress images in a php application
• reduce image file sizes for faster page loads
• optimize uploaded images automatically
• shrink pngs and jpgs without losing visible quality
• batch optimize images in a laravel app
• optimize webp and avif images

When to choose

• you're building in PHP and want lossless or near-lossless image compression
• you want a simple API that wraps multiple optimizer binaries
• you need to shrink images on upload or during deployment

When to avoid

• you need pure-PHP optimization without external binaries installed
• you need advanced image manipulation like resizing or cropping
• you're not working in PHP
