Getting Started

This plugin can use 4 tools to optimize/generate images:

• imagemin - optimize your images by default, since it is stable and works with all types of images
• DEPRECATED squoosh - while working in experimental mode with .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .avif file types.
• sharp - High performance Node.js image processing, the fastest module to resize and compress JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF images. Uses the libvips library.
• svgo - tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. Supports only SVG files minification.

> [!WARNING] > > By default we don't install anything

Install optimize/generate tool

To begin, you'll need to install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin and image minimizer/generator:

• imagemin:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin imagemin --save-dev

> [!WARNING] > > imagemin uses plugin to optimize/generate images, so you need to install them too

• DEPRECATED squoosh:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin @squoosh/lib --save-dev

• sharp:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin sharp --save-dev

• svgo:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin svgo --save-dev

Images can be optimized in two modes:

1. Lossless (without loss of quality).
2. Lossy (with loss of quality).

Optimize with imagemin

> [!NOTE] > > - imagemin-mozjpeg can be configured in lossless and lossy mode. > - imagemin-svgo can be configured in lossless and lossy mode.

Explore the options to get the best result for you.

Recommended imagemin plugins for lossless optimization

npm install imagemin-gifsicle imagemin-jpegtran imagemin-optipng imagemin-svgo --save-dev

Recommended imagemin plugins for lossy optimization

npm install imagemin-gifsicle imagemin-mozjpeg imagemin-pngquant imagemin-svgo --save-dev

For imagemin-svgo v9.0.0+ need use svgo configuration

Optimize with svgo

npm install svgo --save-dev

Recommended svgo options for optimization

For optimization we recommend using the options listed below in minimizer.options.encodeOptions. The default values for plugins can be found in the svgo plugins source code.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {

    rules: [
      // You need this, if you are using `import file from "file.ext"`, for `new URL(...)` syntax you don't need it
      {
        test: /\.(svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
    ],
  },
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.svgoMinify,
          options: {
            encodeOptions: {
              // Pass over SVGs multiple times to ensure all optimizations are applied. False by default
              multipass: true,
              plugins: [
                // set of built-in plugins enabled by default
                // see: https://github.com/svg/svgo#default-preset
                "preset-default",
              ],
            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Advanced setup

If you want to use loader or plugin standalone see sections below, but this is not recommended.

By default, plugin configures loader (please use the loader option if you want to disable this behaviour), therefore you should not setup standalone loader when you use a plugin setup.

Loader optimizes or generates images using options, so inlined images via data URI (i.e. data:) will be optimized or generated too, not inlined images will be optimized too.

Query Parameters (only squoosh and sharp currently)

The plugin supports the following query parameters:

• width/w - allows you to set the image width

• height/h - allows you to set the image height

• as - to specify the preset option

  Only supported for sharp currently:

• unit/u - can be px or percent and allows you to resize by a percentage of the image's size.

Examples:

const myImage1 = new URL("image.png?width=150&height=120", import.meta.url);
const myImage2 = new URL("image.png?w=150&h=120", import.meta.url);
// You can omit one of the parameters to auto-scale
const myImage3 = new URL("image.png?w=150", import.meta.url);
// It works with the `preset` query parameter
const myImage4 = new URL("image.png?as=webp&w=150&h=120", import.meta.url);
// You can use `auto` to reset `width` or `height` from the `preset` option
const myImage5 = new URL("image.png?as=webp&w=150&h=auto", import.meta.url);
// You can use `unit` to get the non-retina resize of images that are retina sized
const myImage6 = new URL("image.png?width=50&unit=percent", import.meta.url);

.class {
  background: url("./image.png?width=150&height=120");
}

<picture>
  <source type="image/avif" srcset="photo.jpg?as=avif&amp;width=150&amp;height=120">
  <source type="image/webp" srcset="photo.jpg?as=webp&amp;width=150&amp;height=120">
  <img alt="photo" src="photo.jpg?width=150&amp;height=120">
</picture>

> [!NOTE] > > You need to setup avif and webp presets, example for webp.

Standalone Loader

Documentation: Using loaders.

In your webpack.config.js, add the ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader and specify the asset modules options (if you use images in import):

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      // You need this, if you are using `import file from "file.ext"`, for `new URL(...)` syntax you don't need it
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
      // We recommend using only for the "production" mode
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        use: [
          {
            loader: ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader,
            enforce: "pre",
            options: {
              minimizer: {
                implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,
                options: {
                  plugins: [
                    "imagemin-gifsicle",

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          filename: "optimized-[name][ext]",

            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Example function usage:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {

        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

generator

Type:

type generator = Array<{
  implementation: (
    original: {
      filename: string;
      data: Buffer;

      info: import("webpack").AssetInfo;
    },
    options?:
      | {
          [key: string]: any;
        }
      | undefined,
  ) => Promise<{
    filename: string;
    data: Buffer;
    warnings: Array;
    errors: Array;
    info: import("webpack").AssetInfo;
  }> & {
    setup?: (() => void) | undefined;
    teardown?: (() => void) | undefined;
  };
  options?:
    | {
        [key: string]: any;
      }
    | undefined;
  filter?: (source: Buffer, sourcePath: string) => boolean | undefined;
  filename?:
    | string
    | ((
        pathData: {
          filename?: string | undefined;
        },
        assetInfo?: import("webpack").AssetInfo | undefined,
      ) => string)
    | undefined;
  preset?: string | undefined;
  type?: "import" | "asset" | undefined;
}>;

Default: undefined

Allow to setup default generators. Useful if you need generate webp/avif/etc from other formats.

> [!WARNING] > > If no generator was found for the image (i.e. no ?as=webp was found in query params), the minimizer option will be used. Therefore, it is recommended to configure generator outputs optimized image.

> [!WARNING] > > The option will not work if you disable loader (i.e. set the loader option to false).

Available generators

• ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminGenerate
• DEPRECATED ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate
• ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate

Generator example for imagemin

Example webp generator:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminGenerate,
            options: {
              // Please specify only one plugin here, multiple plugins will not work
              plugins: ["imagemin-webp"],
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

DEPRECATED Generator example for squoosh

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                // Please specify only one codec here, multiple codecs will not work
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Generator example for sharp

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                // Please specify only one codec here, multiple codecs will not work
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Now you can generate the new image using:

// Old approach for getting URL
import webp from "./file.jpg?as=webp";

// Assets modules
console.log(new URL("./file.jpg?as=webp"));

div {
  background: url("./file.jpg?as=webp");
}

You can use ?as=webp in any type of files.

Example multiple generators:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  lossless: false,
                },
              },
            },
          },
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=avif`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "avif",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                avif: {
                  lossless: false,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

squoosh and sharp generator supports more options, for example you can resize an image:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp-100-50`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp-100-50",
            // implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate,
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              resize: {
                enabled: true,
                width: 100,
                height: 50,
              },
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

You can find more information here.

For only sharp currently, you can even generate the non-retina resizes of images:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp-1x`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp-1x",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              resize: {
                enabled: true,
                width: 50,
                unit: "percent",
              },
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Generator example for user defined implementation

You can use your own generator implementation.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: async (original, options) => {
              const inputExt = path.extname(original.filename).toLowerCase();

              if (inputExt !== ".xxx") {
                // Store error and return `null` if the implementation does not support this file type
                original.errors.push(error);
                return null;
              }

              let result;

              try {
                result = await minifyAndReturnBuffer(original.data);
              } catch (error) {
                // Store error and return `null` if there was an error
                original.errors.push(error);
                return null;

Generator options

type

Type:

type type = "import" | "asset" | undefined;

Default: "import"

Allows you to apply the generator for import or assets from compilation (useful for copied assets). By default, generators are applying on import/require, but sometimes you need to generate new images from other plugins (for example - copy-webpack-plugin), if you need this, please set asset value for the type option.

webpack.config.js

const CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,
          options: {
            plugins: [

          },
        },

          {
            // Apply generator for copied assets
            type: "asset",
            // You can use `ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate`

Additional API

imageminNormalizeConfig(config)

The function normalizes configuration (converts plugins names and options to Functions) for using in imagemin package directly.

const imagemin = require("imagemin");
const { imageminNormalizeConfig } = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

/*
  console.log(imageminConfig);
  =>
  {
    plugins: [Function, Function],
    pluginsMeta: [
      { name: "imagemin-jpegtran", version: "x.x.x", options: {} },
      { name: "imagemin-pngquant", version: "x.x.x", options: { quality: [0.6, 0.8] }
    ]
  }
*/

(async () => {
  const imageminConfig = await imageminNormalizeConfig({
    plugins: ["jpegtran", ["pngquant", { quality: [0.6, 0.8] }]],
  });
  const files = await imagemin(["images/*.{jpg,png}"], {
    destination: "build/images",
    plugins: imageminConfig.plugins,
  });

  console.log(files);
  // => [{data: , path: 'build/images/foo.jpg'}, …]
})();

Examples

Optimize images based on size

You can use difference options (like progressive/interlaced/etc.) based on image size (example - don't do progressive transformation for small images).

What is progressive image? Answer here.
