Microlink drops Optimo media optimization CLI
Optimo is a command-line tool designed for web developers to simplify and automate the optimization of images and videos. By wrapping powerful engines like ImageMagick and FFmpeg with sensible web-centric defaults, it provides a "lossless-first" approach to reducing file sizes without sacrificing quality.
Optimo solves the "FFmpeg flag fatigue" by abstracting complex media processing into a single, intuitive CLI command.
- –Aggregates best-in-class tools including SVGO, MozJPEG, and Gifsicle into a unified pipeline
- –Features a safety mechanism that only overwrites files if the optimized version is actually smaller
- –Supports modern web formats like AVIF and WebP, alongside unique features like target-size resizing
- –Provides production-grade reliability by leveraging the same stack used in Microlink's commercial infrastructure
- –Offers a robust, free alternative to SaaS-based optimization platforms for CI/CD workflows
