Compress the assets in your project.
This library uses the natively powered package Sharp behind the scenes to optimally reduce your project's assets for use in an app or website.
👋 Notice: This package is not limited to Expo projects! This can be used with projects bootstrapped with community CLIs like ignite by Infinite Red, or react-native-cli by the React Native community.
# Run this once to install the sharp image processing utility.
# If this cannot be installed on your computer then you won't be able to optimize images.
npm install -g sharp-cli
# To optimize images simply run this
npx expo-optimize <project-directory> [options]We created optimize to improve our docs and websites (Next, Gatsby, React), and our native apps (React & Expo). Optimizing images can noticeable improve your native app and website's TTI (or time-to-interaction) which means less time on splash screens and quicker delivery over poor network connections.
For more information run npx expo-optimize --help (or -h)
