JPEG Optim

Edit this page

The JpegOptimPostProcessor is a built-in post-processor that performs a number of lossless optimizations on JPEG encoded images.

To add this post-processor to the filter set created in the thumbnail usage example use:

    filter_sets:
        my_thumb:
            filters:
                thumbnail: { size: [120, 90], mode: outbound }
                background: { size: [124, 94], position: center, color: '#000' }
            post_processors:
                jpegoptim: { strip_all: true, max: 70, progressive: true }

This configuration enables metadata stripping and progressive JPEG encoding, and sets a maximum quality factor of 70 for the resulting image binary.

Note

The default executable path is /usr/bin/jpegoptim. If installed elsewhere on your system, you must set the liip_imagine.jpegoptim.binary parameter accordingly.

# app/config/config.yml

parameters:
    liip_imagine.jpegoptim.binary: /your/custom/path/to/jpegoptim

Options

strip_all: bool
Removes all comments, EXIF markers, and other image metadata.
max: int
Sets the maximum image quality factor.
progressive: bool
Ensures the image uses progressive encoding.

Parameters

liip_imagine.jpegoptim.stripAll: bool
Removes all comments, EXIF markers, and other metadata from the image binary.
liip_imagine.jpegoptim.max: int
Assigns the maximum quality factor for the image binary.
liip_imagine.jpegoptim.progressive: bool
Ensures that progressive encoding is enabled for the image binary.
liip_imagine.jpegoptim.binary: string
Sets the location of the jpegoptim executable. Default is /usr/bin/jpegoptim.
liip_imagine.jpegoptim.tempDir: string
Sets the directory to store temporary files.

Tip

The value of liip_imagine.jpegoptim.tempDir can be set to an in-memory mount point on supported operating systems, such as /run/shm on Linux. This will decrease disk load and may increase performance.
