Getting Started

This plugin can use four different tools to optimize or generate images:

imagemin - Optimize your images by default, since it is stable and works with all types of images
DEPRECATED squoosh - while working in experimental mode with .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .avif file types.
sharp - High performance Node.js image processing, the fastest module to resize and compress JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and TIFF images. Uses the libvips library.
svgo - tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files. Supports only SVG files minification.

[!WARNING]

By default, we don’t install any additional packages.

Install an Optimization/Generation Tool

To begin, you'll need to install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin along with an image optimizer or generator:

imagemin:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin imagemin --save-dev

[!WARNING]

imagemin uses plugins to optimize or generate images, so you’ll need to install those as well.

DEPRECATED squoosh:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin @squoosh/lib --save-dev

sharp:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin sharp --save-dev

svgo:

npm install image-minimizer-webpack-plugin svgo --save-dev

Images can be optimized in two modes:

Lossless (without loss of quality).
Lossy (with some loss of quality).

Optimize with `imagemin`

[!NOTE]

imagemin-mozjpeg can be configured in lossless and lossy mode.

imagemin-svgo can be configured in lossless and lossy mode.

Explore the available options to find the best results for your use case.

Recommended imagemin plugins for lossless optimization

npm install imagemin-gifsicle imagemin-jpegtran imagemin-optipng imagemin-svgo --save-dev

Recommended imagemin plugins for lossy optimization

npm install imagemin-gifsicle imagemin-mozjpeg imagemin-pngquant imagemin-svgo --save-dev

For imagemin-svgo v9.0.0+, you need to use the official SVGO configuration

};

Optimize with `svgo`

npm install svgo --save-dev

Recommended svgo options for optimization

For SVG optimization we recommend using the options listed below in minimizer.options.encodeOptions. The default values for plugins can be found in the svgo plugins source code.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      // You need this, if you are using `import file from "file.ext"`. Not needed for `new URL(...)` syntax
      {
        test: /\.(svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
    ],
  },
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.svgoMinify,
          options: {
            encodeOptions: {
              // Pass over SVGs multiple times to ensure all optimizations are applied (False by default)
              multipass: true,
              plugins: [
                // Built-in plugin preset enabled by default
                // See: https://github.com/svg/svgo#default-preset
                "preset-default",
              ],
            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Advanced setup

If you want to use loader or plugin standalone see sections below, but this is not recommended.
By default, plugin configures loader (please use the loader option if you want to disable this behaviour), therefore you should not setup standalone loader when you use a plugin setup.
Loader optimizes or generates images using options, so inlined images via data URI (i.e. data:) will be optimized or generated too, non-inlined images will be optimized too.

Query Parameters (only `squoosh` and `sharp` currently)

The plugin supports the following query parameters:

width/w - allows you to set the image width
height/h - allows you to set the image height
as - to specify the preset option

Only supported for sharp currently:
unit/u - can be px or percent and allows you to resize by a percentage of the image's size.

Examples:

const myImage1 = new URL("image.png?width=150&height=120", import.meta.url);
const myImage2 = new URL("image.png?w=150&h=120", import.meta.url);
// You can omit one of the parameters to auto-scale
const myImage3 = new URL("image.png?w=150", import.meta.url);
// It works with the `preset` query parameter
const myImage4 = new URL("image.png?as=webp&w=150&h=120", import.meta.url);
// You can use `auto` to reset `width` or `height` from the `preset` option
const myImage5 = new URL("image.png?as=webp&w=150&h=auto", import.meta.url);
// You can use `unit` to get the non-retina resize of images that are retina sized
const myImage6 = new URL("image.png?width=50&unit=percent", import.meta.url);

.class {
  background: url("./image.png?width=150&height=120");
}

<picture>
  <source srcset="photo.jpg?as=avif&width=150&height=120" type="image/avif" />
  <source srcset="photo.jpg?as=webp&width=150&height=120" type="image/webp" />
  <img src="photo.jpg?width=150&height=120" alt="photo" />
</picture>

[!NOTE]

You need to setup avif and webp presets, See the example for webp.

Standalone Loader

Documentation: Using loaders.

In your webpack.config.js, add the ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader and specify the asset modules options (if you use images in import):

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      // You need this, if you are using `import file from "file.ext"`. Not needed for `new URL(...)` syntax
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
      // We recommend using only for the "production" mode
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        enforce: "pre",
        use: [
          {
            loader: ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader,
            options: {
              minimizer: {
                implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,

      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: [
          {
            // `sharp` will handle all bitmap formats (JPG, PNG, GIF, ...)
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpMinify,

            // exclude SVG if implementation support it. Not required for `sharp`.
            // filter: (source, sourcePath) => !(/\.(svg)$/i.test(sourcePath)),

            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

`options`

Type:

type options = Record<string, any>;

Default: undefined

Options for the implementation option (i.e. options for imagemin/squoosh/sharp/custom implementation).

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpMinify,
          // Options
          options: {
            encodeOptions: {
              jpeg: {
                quality: 90,
              },
            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

`filter`

Type:

type filter = (source: Buffer, sourcePath: string) => boolean | undefined;

Default: () => true

Allows filtering of images for optimization or generation.

Return true to process (optimize or generate) the image, or false to skip it.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          filter: (source, sourcePath) => {
            // The `source` argument is a `Buffer` of source file
            // The `sourcePath` argument is an absolute path to source
            if (source.byteLength < 8192) {
              return false;
            }

            return true;
          },
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,
          options: {
            plugins: [
              "imagemin-gifsicle",
              "imagemin-mozjpeg",
              "imagemin-pngquant",
              "imagemin-svgo",
            ],
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

`filename`

Type:

type filename =
  | string
  | ((
      pathData: {
        filename?: string | undefined;
      },
      assetInfo?: import("webpack").AssetInfo | undefined,
    ) => string)
  | undefined;

Default: undefined

Allows to set the filename. Supported values see in webpack template strings (see the File-level section for supported patterns).

We also support [width] and [height] placeholders (only when using sharp and squoosh).

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          filename: "optimized-[name][ext]",
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpMinify,
          // Options
          options: {
            encodeOptions: {
              jpeg: {
                quality: 90,
              },
            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Example function usage:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          filename: () => "optimized-[name][ext]",
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpMinify,
          // Options
          options: {
            encodeOptions: {
              jpeg: {
                quality: 90,
              },
            },
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};

`generator`

Type:

type generator = {
  implementation: (
    original: {
      filename: string;
      data: Buffer;
      warnings: Error[];
      errors: Error[];
      info: import("webpack").AssetInfo;
    },
    options?: Record<string, any> | undefined,
  ) => Promise<{
    filename: string;
    data: Buffer;
    warnings: Error[];
    errors: Error[];
    info: import("webpack").AssetInfo;
  }> & {
    setup?: (() => void) | undefined;
    teardown?: (() => void) | undefined;
  };
  options?: Record<string, any> | undefined;
  filter?: (source: Buffer, sourcePath: string) => boolean | undefined;
  filename?:
    | string
    | ((
        pathData: {
          filename?: string | undefined;
        },
        assetInfo?: import("webpack").AssetInfo | undefined,
      ) => string)
    | undefined;
  preset?: string | undefined;
  type?: "import" | "asset" | undefined;
}[];

Default: undefined

Allow to setup default image generators. This is useful when you want to generate additional formats like webp, avif, etc., from the original images.

[!WARNING]

If no generator was found for the image (i.e. no ?as=webp was found in query params), the minimizer option will be used. Therefore, it is recommended to configure generator outputs optimized image.

[!WARNING]

The option will not work if you disable the loader (i.e. set the loader option to false).

Available generators

ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminGenerate
DEPRECATED ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate
ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate

Generator example for `imagemin`

Example webp generator:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`
            // You can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminGenerate,
            options: {
              // Please specify only one plugin here, multiple plugins will not work
              plugins: ["imagemin-webp"],
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

DEPRECATED Generator example for `squoosh`

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                // Please specify only one codec here, multiple codecs will not work
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Generator example for `sharp`

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                // Please specify only one codec here, multiple codecs will not work
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Now you can generate the new image using:

// Old approach for getting URL
import webp from "./file.jpg?as=webp";

// Assets modules
console.log(new URL("./file.jpg?as=webp"));

div {
  background: url("./file.jpg?as=webp");
}

You can use ?as=webp in any type of files.

Example multiple generators:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  lossless: false,
                },
              },
            },
          },
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=avif`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "avif",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              encodeOptions: {
                avif: {
                  lossless: false,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

squoosh and sharp generator supports more options, for example you can resize an image:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp-100-50`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp-100-50",
            // implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.squooshGenerate,
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              resize: {
                enabled: true,
                width: 100,
                height: 50,
              },
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

You can find more information in the squoosh GitHub repository.

For only sharp currently, you can even generate the non-retina resizes of images:

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp-1x`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp-1x",
            implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.sharpGenerate,
            options: {
              resize: {
                enabled: true,
                width: 50,
                unit: "percent",
              },
              encodeOptions: {
                webp: {
                  quality: 90,
                },
              },
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Generator example for user defined implementation

You can use your own generator implementation.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        generator: [
          {
            // You can apply generator using `?as=webp`, you can use any name and provide more options
            preset: "webp",
            implementation: async (original, options) => {
              const inputExt = path.extname(original.filename).toLowerCase();

              if (inputExt !== ".xxx") {
                // Store error and return `null` if the implementation does not support this file type
                original.errors.push(error);
                return null;
              }

              let result;

              try {
                result = await minifyAndReturnBuffer(original.data);
              } catch (error) {
                // Store error and return `null` if there was an error
                original.errors.push(error);
                return null;
              }

              return {
                filename: original.filename,
                data: result,
                warnings: [...original.warnings],
                errors: [...original.errors],
                info: {
                  ...original.info,
                  // Please always set it to prevent double minification
                  generated: true,
                  // Optional
                  generatedBy: ["custom-name-of-minification"],
                },
              };
            },
            options: {
              // Your options
            },
          },
        ],
      }),
    ],
  },
};

Generator options

`type`

Type:

type type = "import" | "asset" | undefined;

Default: "import"

Allows you to apply the generator for either import or assets from compilation (useful for copied assets). By default, generators are applying on import/require, but sometimes you need to generate new images from other plugins (for example - copy-webpack-plugin). If you need this, please set asset value for the type option.

webpack.config.js

const CopyPlugin = require("copy-webpack-plugin");
const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      "...",

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        loader: ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader,
        enforce: "pre",
        options: {

  filter?: FilterFn | undefined;
  filename?: string | FilenameFn | undefined;
  preset?: string | undefined;
  type?: "import" | "asset" | undefined;
}[];

Default: undefined

Allow to setup default generators. This is useful for creating new image formats (e.g., webp, avif, etc.) from existing images.

Loader generator example for `imagemin`

The following example demonstrates how to configure a generator that converts images to the webp format using imagemin.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        loader: ImageMinimizerPlugin.loader,
        enforce: "pre",
        options: {
          generator: [
            {
              preset: "webp",
              implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminGenerate,
              options: {
                plugins: ["imagemin-webp"],

            },
          ],
        },
      },
    ],
  },
};

This setup will automatically generate .webp versions of the original assets during the build process. For more information and supported options please read here.

'error' - Emits errors

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
        type: "asset",
      },
      {
        test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,

            },
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
};

Additional API

`imageminNormalizeConfig(config)`

The function normalizes configuration (converts plugins names and options to Functions) for using in imagemin package directly.

const { imageminNormalizeConfig } = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");
const imagemin = require("imagemin");

/*
  console.log(imageminConfig);
  =>
  {
    plugins: [Function, Function],
    pluginsMeta: [
      { name: "imagemin-jpegtran", version: "x.x.x", options: {} },
      { name: "imagemin-pngquant", version: "x.x.x", options: { quality: [0.6, 0.8] }
    ]
  }
*/

const imageminConfig = await imageminNormalizeConfig({
  plugins: ["jpegtran", ["pngquant", { quality: [0.6, 0.8] }]],
});

const files = await imagemin(["images/*.{jpg,png}"], {
  destination: "build/images",
  plugins: imageminConfig.plugins,
});

console.log(files);
// => [{data: <Buffer 89 50 4e …>, path: 'build/images/foo.jpg'}, …]

Examples

Optimize images based on size

You can use difference options (like progressive/interlaced/etc.) based on image size (example - don't do progressive transformation for small images).

What is progressive image? Answer here.

webpack.config.js

const ImageMinimizerPlugin = require("image-minimizer-webpack-plugin");

module.exports = {
  optimization: {
    minimizer: [
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,
          options: {
            plugins: [["jpegtran", { progressive: true }]],
          },
          // Only apply this one to files equal to or over 8192 bytes
          filter: (source) => {
            if (source.byteLength >= 8192) {
              return true;
            }

            return false;
          },
        },
      }),
      new ImageMinimizerPlugin({
        minimizer: {
          implementation: ImageMinimizerPlugin.imageminMinify,
          options: {
            plugins: [["jpegtran", { progressive: false }]],
          },
          // Only apply this one to files under 8192
          filter: (source) => {
            if (source.byteLength < 8192) {
              return true;
            }

            return false;
          },
        },
      }),
    ],
  },
};
