+# optimg
+
+A tiny Python CLI/library wrapping the **JPEG** and **PNG** optimization file size.
+It uses **jpegoptim** and **optipng** as optimization programs.
+
+> **NOTE** For now only **JPEG** optimization is available and **it's not loseless** ! It will set the JPEG size to a maximum of **1 Mb**. Thus, may reduce drastically the quality... Should be fixed in future release.
+
+## Install
+Make sure **jpegoptim** and **optipng** are installed on your system and are available in your **PATH**.
+
+On Ubuntu:
+```bash
+sudo apt install jpegoptim optipng
+```
+
+Other system:
+```bash
+sudo consider-using-linux-quickly-or-die
+```
+
+Install the CLI in a dedicated environment:
+```bash
+make install
+```
+It will install the CLI in a Python virtual env: `venv.dist`.
+
+Under your virtual environment:
+```bash
+optimg --help
+
+usage: optimg [-h] [--mimetype {JPEG,PNG}] [--size {TINY,MEDIUM,LARGE,FAT}] [--dest DEST] [--workers WORKERS] [--show] [--debug] src
+
+Optimize JPEG and PNG files from a directory.
+
+positional arguments:
+  src                   Directory path to scan.
+
+options:
+  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
+  --mimetype {JPEG,PNG}
+                        Filter by mimetype. Default is all.
+  --size {TINY,MEDIUM,LARGE,FAT}
+                        Filter by file size. Default is all.
+  --dest DEST           Base destination directory of optimized files.
+  --workers WORKERS     Number of workers used to optimize files.
+  --show                Details the directory by mimetypes and quit.
+  --debug               Set log level to debug. Default is info.
+```
+
+You're good ! Enjoy !
+
+## Examples
+
+* Optimize **JPEG** files of **MEDIUM** size:
+```bash
+optimg /my/path --size MEDIUM --mimetype JPEG
+
+[INFO] - 2025-10-22 12:30:30,209 - launching optimization (6145) for type: image/jpeg and size range: MEDIUM on 4 workers...
+Optimizing...:   6%|██████▎                                                                                                         | 344/6145 [00:01<00:30, 193.12it/s
+```
+> **NOTE** The default **base destination directory** is the **data** folder if you don't provide `--dest` optional argument. It will be automatically created in the current path where the CLI is launched.
+
+**ALL** the files path are preserved (sub-directory creation etc...). The **base destination directory** to put the files optimized elsewhere.
