API

Comes bundled with the following optimizers:

• gifsicle — Compress GIF images, lossless
• mozjpeg — Compress JPEG images, lossy
• optipng — Compress PNG images, lossless
• svgo — Compress SVG images, lossless

These are bundled for convenience and most users will not need anything else.

imagemin(plugins?, options?)

Unsupported files are ignored.

plugins

Type: Array
Default: [imagemin.gifsicle(), imagemin.mozjpeg(), imagemin.optipng(), imagemin.svgo()]

Plugins to use. This will completely overwrite all the default plugins. So, if you want to use custom plugins and you need some of defaults too, then you should pass default plugins as well. Note that the default plugins come with good defaults and should be sufficient in most cases. See the individual plugins for supported options.

options

Type: object

verbose

Type: boolean
Default: false

Enabling this will log info on every image passed to gulp-imagemin:

gulp-imagemin: ✔ image1.png (already optimized)
gulp-imagemin: ✔ image2.png (saved 91 B - 0.4%)

silent

Type: boolean
Default: false

Don't log the number of images that have been minified.

You can also enable this from the command-line with the --silent flag if the option is not already specified.
