lightweight lossless file minifier/optimizer

Leanify

Leanify is a lightweight lossless file minifier/optimizer. It removes unnecessary data (debug information, comments, metadata, etc.) and recompress the file to reduce file size. It will not reduce image quality at all.

Features

• Support recursive minifying. (e.g. a PNG inside an APK inside a ZIP)
• Support a wide variety of file formats.
• Lightweight, one file, under 1MB, no external dependency.
• Everything is done in memory, no temporary files.
• Cross-Platform, support Windows, Linux, Mac.
• Support traverse directory recursively.
• Ability to identify file format by its data instead of name.

Disclaimer

I'm not respossible for any consequence of using Leanify.

PLEASE BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE USING LEANIFY!

Usage

Usage: leanify [options] paths
  -i, --iteration <iteration>   More iterations produce better result, but
                                  use more time, default is 15.
  -d, --max_depth <max depth>   Maximum recursive depth, unlimited by default.
                                  Set to 1 will disable recursive minifying.
  -f, --fastmode                Fast mode, no recompression.
  -q, --quiet                   No output to stdout.
  -v, --verbose                 Verbose output.
  --keep-exif                   Do not remove Exif.
