Image optimization in webpack?

Question

JavaScript

In my project, photos do not go through the loader, but are simply copied, I found such a plugin and decided to compare it with such a service .

As a result, in webpack the picture was compressed to 6.16 mb and through the service it was compressed to 5.5mb

The difference is very noticeable, is there something better under webpack for compressing copied images?

Answer 1

Yes, squeeze your hands in the editor.
PS: what is 5.5 megabytes, what is 6.16 - this is archidohrena.

Answer 2

It's not about webpack, it's about the Imagemin settings and the plugins you use.
If the size of the resulting files is important to you, look aside imagemin-guetzliand imagemin-mozjpeg. In addition, it can be used webpas an alternative to established formats.
As for me, manually using services for compressing images is inconvenient - it's better to set up the assembler once.
