title: "Easy image minification"
emoji: 🌇

summary: I wrote the `jpegli` CLI tool to quickly reduce the pixel- and byte-size of images for my blog, using JPEGli compression.

I've not written anything substantial here in _some time_, and sadly that's not going to change today!
I do have a mini-announcement about a tool I built for image posting here though — I've released the [`jpegli`](https://github.com/jphastings/jpegli) command line tool which:
- Ensures the image is no larger than 2048×1920px (maintaining aspect ratio)
- Compresses the image with the impressive [JPEGli](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/04/introducing-jpegli-new-jpeg-coding-library.html) algorithm
JPEGli is a (relatively) new way of producing JPEG images but at significantly smaller file sizes (with no real noticeable difference). The end up _roughly_ the size of WebP images, but (being JPEG images) they're readily understood _everywhere_.
If this sounds useful then you can download for mac/linux/windows [from github](https://github.com/jphastings/jpegli/releases) or you can do any of the following
```bash
# With Homebrew installed
brew install jphastings/tools/jpegli
# With Go installed
go install github.com/jphastings/jpegli@latest
```
Do [let me know](/standing-invitation) if you use it, or would like to see some improvements/changes to how it works. It's very basic at the moment!
