ImageOptim Alfred Workflow

Alfred ImageOptim Workflow

ImageOptim removes bloated metadata. Saves disk space & bandwidth by compressing images without losing quality.

Usage

To activate this workflow on one or multiple folders or files (JPG, PNG, GIF, or SVG) you've a number of possibilities. After a few seconds the image(s) should be compressed.

1. In Finder select your files/folders, invoke your hotkey for Universal Actions, then select Optimize Images.
2. Or use a File Buffer by invoking your Alfred Hotkey, typing the keyword imageoptim, typing the name of a file/folder, select multiple files using ⌥ + Arrow up, and finally pressing enter.

Caveats

• JPEG: jpegtran, jpegoptim
• GIF: gifsicle
• SVG: svgcleaner
• PNG: pngcrush, advpng, oxipng, pngquant, zopflipng, pngout

2. Unzip the file on your computer
