Usage

Installation

Run python -m pip install responsiveimage to install the python package.

Also, please install the binaries ffmpeg and optipng (using apt-get, pacman, or directly from sourceforge) to further optimize the png version of the sprite.

Usage

• resize and save all images in <srcdir> into <dstdir>. New size is 1920px by default (at largest dimension, keep the aspect-ratio), and save quality is:
  • gif and svg: direct copy
  • png: use Pillow library, with Optimize=True
  • jpg: quality=80, progressive, 4:2:2
  • webp: quality=80
  • mp4: use ffmpeg to scale at 1024

python -m responsiveimage --src-dir <srcdir> --dst-dir <dstdir>

• --export-to-webp: also export the webp version of the image

• --size <s1,s2...>: different scaling are generating, instead of the default 1920px. The max size will be s1, s2...

• --height <s1,s2...>: different scaling are generating, based on the height which will be be s1, s2... Note that --size and --height cannot be used at the same time.

• By default, the name of the created responsive versions of the image are

  • unchanged if there is a single scaled version of the image
  • or suffixed with -s1, -s2... otherwise.

  Option --add-name <name1,name2...>is used to modify the suffix, in name1 , name2. Note that the numbers of sizes or heights must be the same as the one of add-name if provided

  As an example, using --size 1024,512 --add-name _big,_small, an image img.jpg will be rescaled with 1024px and named img_big_.jpg, and another one rescaled at 512px and named img_small_.jpg

• --mp4-as-gif: from a mp4 file, the gif and the webp animated versions are created, using ffmpeg

• --crop <x1,y1,x2,y2> crops the original image using (x1,y1) as the top-left point (x being the horizontal position in px), and (x2,y2) being the bottom-right point.

• --force: recreate the scaled versions of the images, even when they exist.
