June 2023 – EmberLabs

Using the service from https://tinypng.com makes it easy to mass-shrink your PNG images to more palatable sizes, and it comes with a neat 500 free use transcodes per month, and it’s quite cheap after that.

Here’s a little script to help you with the work a bit.

Prerequisites:
bash, jq and curl.

Save the file as “tinify” and do a chmod 755 tinify

Flags:
-k <key> = API key for tinypng.com – can be omitted if specified in the environment variable by export TINIFY_API ="<api_key>"
-f <file> = Filename to compress
-r = Replace the original file with the compressed file. If not specified, the output file will be named tiny-<filename>
-v = verbose output
-s = Show compression statistics (1 line per file)
