- Command-line tools pngquant and jpegoptim are recommended for image compression due to their cross-platform availability and free usage.
- Advantages of CLI tools include batch processing, automation compatibility, consistent results, and no need for manual GUI exports.
- Installation instructions for macOS (Homebrew), Linux (Ubuntu/Debian, Fedora, Arch) are provided.
- Commands for compressing single PNG and JPG files, as well as recursively compressing all PNGs and JPGs in a project, are detailed.
- Options for parallel processing to utilize multi-core CPUs and skipping small images (less than 50KB) to optimize compression efforts are included.
