Vite Plugin Image Optimizer

Overview

If you're looking to optimize your web assets efficiently, this new plugin combines the power of Sharp.js and SVGO into a seamless solution specifically designed for Vite users. It aims to streamline the process of image optimization by providing customizable configurations for various raster and SVG formats. With this plugin, both web performance and user experience can be significantly enhanced by reducing file sizes without compromising quality.

The motivation behind this tool is to deliver a comprehensive package for those who find other image optimization solutions lacking. Inspired by the popular image-minimizer-webpack-plugin, this plugin allows you to have fine-tuned control over the optimization process, making it an excellent addition to any developer's toolkit.
