Please share your feedback so we together can improve this package which will help the community. I will be glad if you use the package and let me know how it is working in the comment section below. For some reason, if the package does not get the optimized version from, then as a fallback it uses PHP’s native methods like imagecreatefromjpeg, imagecreatefrompng, imagecreatefromgif, imagejpeg for optimization. Though compressed billions of images so far, it can be possible their service is down for some reason. Upon package installation, you can optimize the image using the code below. Image Optimization using PHPĪt first, you need to install the package using the Composer by running the command: composer require artisansweb/image-optimizer That being said, let’s discuss how to install and use artisansweb/image-optimizer package. But if you go for the package, it can be done in 5-6 lines.

If you read my article on, you will find it needs to add around 25-30 lines of code. Though I wrote an article on optimizing images with I feel I can create a GitHub package out of it and I did so.

Then we came to know about which is a completely free service for optimizing images. We were looking for open source and efficient service which can do our job. In the last year, I was working on a client’s project which has thousands of images that needed to compress. But they require us to install software like JpegOptim, Optipng, etc. There are other packages available for this purpose. Upload and Compress Multiple Images in PHP.Above 500 images, you will charge per image.įew of previous articles on image optimization: But the limitation with TinyPNG is they allow optimizing 500 free images per month. So far TinyPNG was my favorite and still, it is. I wrote a few articles on image optimization in the past. With that in mind, I created my first GitHub package artisansweb/image-optimizer which does the task of optimizing images for your website. On my website I don’t run any paid membership, sell ebooks or courses. Along with this blog, I also run a YouTube channel where I share videos to show how to implement my articles. It has been 5 years since I am running this blog.
