go-pngquant

Go go-pngquant is a Go bind to pornel/pngquant.

Install

go get github.com/kiwamunet/go-pngquant

Std I/O

The following stdio is used for std processing.
For details, please check from the link

cgostdio

Use

func sliceParam(src []byte) ([]byte, error) {
	strings := []string{"Pngquant", "256", "--speed", "3", "--quality", "0-100"}
	return binding.Pngquant(strings, src)
}

func stringParam(src []byte) ([]byte, error) {
	string := "Pngquant 256 --speed 3 --quality 0-100"
	return binding.PngquantOneLine(string, src)
}

func structParam(src []byte) ([]byte, error) {
	st := binding.PngquantParams{
		NumColors:  256,
		Speed:      3,
		QualityMin: 0,
		QualityMax: 100,
	}
	return binding.PngquantStruct(st, src)
}

Options

See pngquant -h for full list.

--quality min-max

min and max are numbers in range 0 (worst) to 100 (perfect), similar to JPEG. pngquant will use the least amount of colors required to meet or exceed the max quality. If conversion results in quality below the min quality the image won't be saved (if outputting to stdin, 24-bit original will be output) and pngquant will exit with status code 99.

pngquant --quality=65-80 image.png

--ext new.png

Set custom extension (suffix) for output filename. By default -or8.png or -fs8.png is used. If you use --ext=.png --force options pngquant will overwrite input files in place (use with caution).

-o out.png or --output out.png

Writes converted file to the given path. When this option is used only single input file is allowed.

--skip-if-larger

Don't write converted files if the conversion isn't worth it.

--speed N

Speed/quality trade-off from 1 (brute-force) to 11 (fastest). The default is 3. Speed 10 has 5% lower quality, but is 8 times faster than the default. Speed 11 disables dithering and lowers compression level.

--nofs

Disables Floyd-Steinberg dithering.

--floyd=0.5

Controls level of dithering (0 = none, 1 = full). Note that the = character is required.

--posterize bits

Reduce precision of the palette by number of bits. Use when the image will be displayed on low-depth screens (e.g. 16-bit displays or compressed textures in ARGB444 format).

--strip

Don't copy optional PNG chunks. Metadata is always removed on Mac (when using Cocoa reader).

--version

Print version information to stdout.

-

Read image from stdin and send result to stdout.

--

Stops processing of arguments. This allows use of file names that start with -. If you're using pngquant in a script, it's advisable to put this before file names:

pngquant $OPTIONS -- "$FILE"
