JPEGOPTIM(1) General Commands Manual JPEGOPTIM(1)
NAME
jpegoptim - utility to optimize/compress JPEG/JFIF files.
SYNOPSIS
jpegoptim [ options ] [ filenames ]
DESCRIPTION
jpegoptim is used to optimize/compress jpeg files. Program supports lossless optimization, which is based on optimizing the Huffman tables.
And so called "lossy" optimization where in addition to optimizing Huffman tables user can specify upperlimit for image quality.
OPTIONS
Options may be either the traditional POSIX one letter options, or the GNU style long options. POSIX style options start with a single
``-'', while GNU long options start with ``--''.
Options offered by jpegoptim are the following:
-d<path>, --dest=<path>
Sets alternative destination directory where to save optimized files (default is to overwrite the originals). Please note that
unchanged files won't be added to the destination directory. This means if the source file can't be compressed, no file will be cre-
ated in the destination path.
-f, --force
Force optimization, even if the result would be larger than the original file.
-h, --help
Displays short usage information and exits.
-m[0..100], --max=[0..100]
Sets the maximum image quality factor (disables lossless optimization mode, which is by default enabled). This option will reduce
quality of those source files that were saved using higher quality setting. While files that already have lower quality setting will
be compressed using the lossless optimization method.
-n, --noaction
Don't really optimize files, just print results.
-o, --overwrite
Overwrite target file even if it exists (when using -d option).
-p, --preserve
Preserve file modification times.
-q, --quiet
Quiet mode.
-t, --totals
Print totals after processing all files.
-v, --verbose
Enables verbose mode (positively chatty).
--strip-all
Strip all (Comment & Exif) markers from output file. (NOTE! by default only Comment & Exif markers are kept, everything else is dis-
carded)
--strip-com
Strip Comment (COM) markers from output file.
--strip-exif
Strip EXIF markers from output file.
--strip-iptc
Strip IPTC markers from output file.
--strip-icc
Strip ICC profiles from output file.
BUGS
When optimizing progressive jpeg, result will be a normal jpeg.
