imageOptimizer

Automatically optimize images after Vite build, supporting compression and format conversion for JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF, and SVG formats.

Import Methods

// Submodule import (recommended)
import { imageOptimizer } from '@meng-xi/vite-plugin/plugins/compress/image-optimizer'
import type { ImageOptimizerOptions, ImageOptimizeStats, ImageOptimizeSummary, ImageFormat, FormatQualityOptions, SvgoPlugin, SvgoOptions } from '@meng-xi/vite-plugin/plugins/compress/image-optimizer'

// Barrel import
import { imageOptimizer } from '@meng-xi/vite-plugin'

Quick Start

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import { imageOptimizer } from '@meng-xi/vite-plugin'

export default defineConfig({
	plugins: [
		imageOptimizer({
			quality: { jpeg: 80, webp: 75 },
			convertToWebp: { png: true }
		})
	]
})

Dependencies

This plugin relies on the following optional dependencies:

• sharp - Bitmap optimization (JPEG/PNG/WebP/AVIF/GIF/TIFF), skips bitmap optimization if not installed
• svgo - SVG optimization, skips SVG optimization if not installed

# Install both dependencies
npm install sharp svgo -D

# Bitmap optimization only
npm install sharp -D

# SVG optimization only
npm install svgo -D

TIP

Both dependencies are optional. The plugin automatically detects installed dependencies and only performs the corresponding optimization tasks.

Examples

Basic Compression

imageOptimizer({
	quality: { jpeg: 80, png: 6, webp: 75 }
})

PNG to WebP

imageOptimizer({
	convertToWebp: { png: true }
})

Multi-Format Conversion

imageOptimizer({
	convertToWebp: { png: true, jpeg: true },
	convertToAvif: { png: true },
	keepOriginal: true
})

Custom Format Conversion Mapping

imageOptimizer({
	convertMapping: {
		jpeg: 'webp',
		png: 'avif'
	}
})

SVG Optimization

imageOptimizer({
	svgo: {
		plugins: [
			{ name: 'removeViewBox', active: false },
			{ name: 'removeEmptyContainers', active: true }
		],
		multipass: true
	}
})

Limit Large Image Size

imageOptimizer({
	maxPixels: 1920 * 1080, // Images exceeding 1080p will be scaled down
	quality: { jpeg: 75, webp: 70 }
})

Production Only

imageOptimizer({
	enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
	quality: { jpeg: 70, webp: 65 }
})

Notes

• Uses enforce: 'post' to execute after build artifacts are written
• Volume conservation: When only compressing, if the optimized file is larger, it is skipped (original preserved); format conversion always generates the new format file
• keepOriginal: true retains the original file during conversion, output uses new extension (e.g., logo.png → logo.webp)
• keepOriginal: false replaces the original file during conversion
• sharp and svgo are both optional dependencies; the plugin automatically skips corresponding optimization types when not installed
• Concurrent optimization is controlled via parallelLimit to manage resource usage, defaulting to 5 concurrent operations
• maxPixels can limit the pixel count of oversized images to avoid memory overflow
