Image Optimizer

# Image Optimizer 2.1 — Now in Your Terminal

Image Optimizer now ships with `imgopt`, a command line tool that uses the same bundled optimizers as the app. Script your image pipeline, optimize a folder before a commit, or just stay in the terminal. No Node.js or extra installs needed.

## Get the Command

- **macOS:** choose **Image Optimizer → Install Command Line Tool…** to add `imgopt` to `/usr/local/bin`. Move the app to Applications first.
- **Windows:** the installer adds `imgopt` to your user `PATH`. Open a new terminal after installing.

The app doesn't need to be running for the command to work.

## A Guided Mode for When You Don't Remember the Flags

Run `imgopt` on its own. It asks what to optimize, where the results should go, whether to convert to WebP, which quality to use, and whether to keep metadata. Before it starts, it prints the equivalent command so you can skip the questions next time.

```sh
imgopt # guided mode
imgopt ./images # writes to ./images/minified
imgopt photo.jpg --webp -s # writes minified/photo.min.webp
imgopt ./assets --in-place -y # replace originals without asking
imgopt ./im
