var gulp = require('gulp');
var unretina = require('gulp-unretina');
 
gulp.task('default', function () {
  gulp.src('[e-mail]')
    .pipe(unretina())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

API

unretina(options)

options.suffix

Type: String Default value: "@2x"

Sufix to be removed from filename. You can disable this function with false or empty "" values.

options.quality

Type: Number Default value: 1

Determines the output quality of the resized image. Ranges from 0 (really bad) to 1 (almost lossless). Only applies to jpg images.

Recommended modules

• concurrent-transform: parallelize image resizing

var parallel = require("concurrent-transform");
var os = require("os");
 
gulp.task("parallel", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*@2x.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(parallel(
      unretina(),
      os.cpus().length
    ))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

• gulp-changed: only resize changed images

var changed = require("gulp-changed");
 
gulp.task("changed", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*@2x.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(changed("dist"))
    .pipe(unretina())
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});

• gulp-rename: add a suffix or prefix

var rename = require("gulp-rename");
 
gulp.task("suffix", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*@2x.{jpg,png}")
    .pipe(unretina())
    .pipe(rename(function (path) { path.basename += "-standard"; }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("dist"));
});
