Question 1

How to install all dependencies for image-optimizer on Ubuntu?

Accepted Answer

Use apt-get to install packages like optipng, pngquant, jpegoptim, and svgo. For example, run 'sudo apt-get install optipng pngquant jpegoptim svgo'. Refer to the project's Vagrantfile for a complete setup example.

Question 2

Does image-optimizer support WebP format?

Accepted Answer

No, Image Optimizer does not natively support WebP. It is limited to PNG, JPG, GIF, and SVG. For WebP optimization, you would need to use other tools or extend it with custom optimizers.

Question 3

How to use image-optimizer in a Laravel application?

Accepted Answer

Install via Composer, then use the OptimizerFactory in controllers or services. For batch processing, loop through files and call optimize. Consider wrapping it in a queue job for better performance with large volumes.

Question 4

Image-optimizer vs spatie/image-optimizer: which is better for PHP?

Accepted Answer

psliwa/image-optimizer is more low-level and configurable, wrapping multiple command-line tools directly. Spatie's version may offer higher-level abstractions and Laravel-specific integrations. Choose based on your need for control versus convenience.

Question 5

What does 'All optimizers failed to optimize the file' error mean and how to fix it?

Accepted Answer

This error typically indicates missing dependencies or inaccessible binaries. Enable logging by passing a Psr\LoggerInterface to the OptimizerFactory to see detailed error messages and verify that all required tools are installed and correctly configured.

Question 6

Can image-optimizer handle batch processing efficiently?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can loop through multiple files, but each optimization runs as a separate process, which may cause performance overhead. For large batches, implement concurrency or use a queue system to manage resources effectively.
