Optimo: Free Open-Source CLI Tool for Media Optimization
By
Kiko Beats
Sat on the counter overnight. Well past its best.
Summary
Optimo is a free, open-source command-line tool that optimizes images and videos to reduce file sizes, addressing issues with disk space, bandwidth usage, and performance slowdowns. Built on ImageMagick and FFmpeg, it provides consistent media optimization results where other tools have been unreliable.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledImages and videos are bigger than they should be. They eat disk, bandwidth, and slow everything down.
We tried the usual mix of tools, flags, and formats. It worked… sometimes.
So we built Optimo: a CLI that makes media smaller, every time.
Built on ImageMagick + FFmpeg. Free and open source.
