Leanify

Leanify is a lightweight lossless file minifier/optimizer. It removes unnecessary data (debug information, comments, metadata, etc.) and recompress the file to reduce file size. It will not reduce image quality at all.

Features

• Support recursive minifying. (e.g. a PNG inside an APK inside a ZIP)
• Support a wide variety of file formats.
• Lightweight, one file, under 1MB, no external dependency.
• Everything is done in memory, no temporary files.
• Cross-Platform, support Windows, Linux, Mac.
• Support traverse directory recursively.
• Ability to identify file format by its data instead of name.

Disclaimer

I'm not respossible for any consequence of using Leanify.

PLEASE BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE USING LEANIFY!

                                  use more time, default is 15.
  -d, --max_depth <max depth>   Maximum recursive depth, unlimited by default.
                                  Set to 1 will disable recursive minifying.
  -f, --fastmode                Fast mode, no recompression.
  -q, --quiet                   No output to stdout.
  -v, --verbose                 Verbose output.
