imgmini

library2.2.0jsnpmunverified

imgmini is a CLI tool for minifying images using gulp-imagemin under the hood. Version 2.2.0 is the latest and appears to be stable, with low release cadence. It offers a simple command-line interface to compress JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SVG files. Unlike API-based alternatives, it operates locally without network calls, but its functionality is basic and tied to older gulp ecosystem. No active development observed.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import imgmini from 'imgmini'

✗ import { imgmini } from 'imgmini'

imgmini is a CLI tool without a default export; programmatic use is not the primary use case.

CLI binary

✓ npx imgmini image.jpg

✗ imgmini image.jpg (requires global install)

Recommended usage via npx to avoid global install; binary name is 'imgmini'.

Gulp integration

✓ import imgmini from 'gulp-imgmini'

✗ const imgmini = require('imgmini')

If using Gulp, there is no separate plugin; see gulp-imagemin directly.

Minify images silently using npx without global installation.

npx imgmini -s image.jpg image2.png
