Plugin for compress/optimize images (jpg, png, gif, svg).

add to your Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-compress-images'

and in _config.yml:

plugins:
  - jekyll-compress-images

Run bundle install in your project folder

If you want to setup different path for images, open _config.yml add

compress_images:
  images_path: "yourpath/img/**/*.{gif,png,jpg,jpeg,svg}"

if you don't configure your default path will be assets/img/**/*.{gif,png,jpg,jpeg,svg}

You can pass image_optim options by using

imageoptim:
  pngout: false
  svgo: true
  verbose: false

on jekyll serve or in jekyll build you will run compression, if your images are already compressed, you don't need to worry because it will not run again which will save bunch of time! :)

If this project helps you, you can give me a robot instead of coffee. :)

Enjoy 🎉
