API

tinypngFree([options])

Returns Stream containing compressed images

options

Type: Object / String Default: {}

Sets options described below from its properties.

options.sigFile

Type: String Default: ./sign.json

If set to a filename, it will compare existing source file md5 signatures against those found in the file's json data. When the signatures match, the file is skipped from being minified again, allowing you to better stay within your API request limits. When an image is minified, the md5 signature is determined from the unminified source image and written to the file at options.sigFile (a suggested location would be somewhere under your source control).

Signatures are based off the unminified source image, so that when the source changes it will be re-minified and re-written to the destination file.

options.force

Type: Boolean Default: false

Force compress images regardless of signature. Value can either be true to force all images, or a glob pattern string to match against the filename(s).
