    steps:
      - $resize:
          width: 200
          height: 200

Name

type	Type: string Required jpeg | png | gif | webp

Fill the area of 200x200 pixels with the image and format to jpeg if the original is another type.

config.yml

presets:
  fill_200x200:
    steps:
      - $fill:
          width: 200
          height: 200
      - $format:
          type: jpeg

Compresses the image (but does not strip metadata). If used together with Format, Compress should be placed after Format as it depends on the filetype.

Name

quality	Type: number Default: 100

lossy	Type: boolean Default: false

Fill an area of 200x200 pixels and compress the image using mozjpeg to a quality of 82, to make the images fast and SEO friendly.

config.yml

presets:
  fill_200x200:
    steps:
      - $fill:
          width: 200

Strip

Strips the image of all EXIF data.

Exif data is nowadays often quite large, and for images to be fast to load this should be removed.

Name

icc_profile	Should the ICC Profile be kept Type: boolean Default: true

Do avoid removing icc_profile, your images will look different on different types of screens.

Example

Fill an area of 200x200 pixels and strip all exif data so that the resulting image becomes fast to load and small in byte size. We also want to keep all the colors as they were made from the original.

config.yml

presets:
  fill_200x200:
    steps:
      - $fill:
          width: 200
          height: 200
      - $strip:
          icc_profile: jpeg
