WebIMGo - CLI for Batch Processing Images

NodeJS

Webimgo is a CLI tool for batch processing JPGs as well as PNGs for web designers/developers. It produces compressed images at its best possible. It also support batch width resizing that gives a real comfort and easiness to compress and resize images in bulk. I built this as a part of the requirement for a development agency wanting a quick and easy solution to optimise images in builk when client provides theme to update on the website. Using this package one can easily optimize & resize images for web with a single command.
