Web Image Optimization with TinyPNG API

Overview

This Python script automates the process of optimizing images for the web using the TinyPNG API. It's a simple yet powerful tool to reduce image file sizes for faster web page loading and improved user experience.

Features

  • Automatic Image Optimization: The script scans a specified directory, identifies image files, and optimizes them using the TinyPNG API.
  • Output Customization: You can specify the output directory for the optimized images or use default settings.
  • Error Handling: The script handles errors and provides informative error messages in case of issues with image optimization.
  • API Key Management: Easily manage your TinyPNG API key for seamless integration.

Prerequisites

  • Python: This script requires Python to run.
  • TinyPNG API Key: You need to obtain an API key from TinyPNG.

Installation

  1. Clone or download the repository to your local machine.

  2. Install tinify :

    pip install --upgrade tinify

Usage

Create a Configuration File config.json and Add Your TinyPNG API Key

{
    "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}

To use this script, you can specify the output folder and optional flags for overwriting the output folder.

  • input-folder: Directory containing the original images.
  • -o or --output-folder: Directory to save converted images.
  • -O or --overwrite-output: Overwrite the output folder if it already exists.

Here's an example of how to run the script:

python imgopt.py input_folder -o output_folder
