In simple English
This tool checks every picture added to your code repository. It shrinks the file size without making the picture look worse. It runs in the background whenever someone offers a change. You do not need to remember to run a compression tool on your own computer. It is free to use on GitHub.
What it is
A GitHub Action (a piece of automation that runs on GitHub's servers when events happen in your repository) that shrinks image files in pull requests. It uses high-speed compression libraries to strip extra data from graphic files before they get merged into your main project.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want faster website loading times without spending time on manual image optimisation or expensive external services.
- Runs automatically on every pull request so you never forget to shrink images.
- Supports modern web formats like WebP and AVIF alongside standard JPEGs and PNGs.
- Posts a helpful comment on your pull request showing how much space you saved.
- Requires a small amount of YAML configuration to set up inside your repository.
- Does not process pull requests coming from forked repositories by default due to security rules.
- Will commit changes directly to your pull request branch, which can surprise collaborators.
