Kirigami

Cut the images in your assets dir to a web-friendly size.

Kirigami performs optimisations on your images to ensure they are web-friendly.

By default, Kirigami uses the optimisation suggestions recommended by Google's Page Speed Insights

In ImageMagick terms, these are:

convert original.jpg -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -strip -quality 85 -interlace JPEG -colorspace RGB new.jpg

Image dimensions, extensions, and filenames are not changed.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'kirigami'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install kirigami

Usage

WARNING: This will change the size and quality of images in your Rails application. Make sure you have read the documentation and have backed up your images before you proceed

$ rails kirigami:cut

This rake task will go through each of the images specified in your configuration and crop their size (if necessary), remove any metadata, and compress them (JPG only).

To peek under the hood, check out lib/kirigami/image.rb

Configuration

To configure options, add an initializer in config/initializers/kirigami.rb

Kirigami.configure do |config|

  # Only convert images with these extensions (default: %w[ png jpg jpeg gif ])
  self.config.image_extensions  ||= %w[ png jpg jpeg gif ]

  # Create a backup copy of each image before conversion (default: true)
  self.config.safe_mode         ||= true

  # JPEG compression quality (default: "85%")
  self.config.jpeg_compression_quality ||= '85%'

  # An array of dirpaths where your images are located (defaults: "./app/assets/images")
  self.config.image_paths ||= "[yourapp]/app/assets/images"

  # Ignore images within these dirpaths (default: [])
  self.config.exclude_paths     ||= []

  # Set minimagick to debug mode (default: false)
  self.config.debug = false

end if defined?(Kirigami)

TODO

• Add support for specifying max sizes for individual images
• Add proper tests
