title: Web Image Optimization
tags:
- feature/transformer
---
Quartz uses [`sharp`](https://github.com/lovell/sharp) to optimize images for web serving at build time.
When `optimizeImages` in [[configuration#General-Configuration|General Configuration]] is set to `true`:
- JPEG and PNG images will be stripped all metadata and converted to [WebP](https://caniuse.com/webp) format, and associated image links in `<img>` tags, [[wikilinks#embeds|Wikilinks]] and [[CustomOgImages#frontmatter-properties|Custom OG Image]] frontmatter config `socialImage` will be updated with the new file extension.
- A resized preview image will replace every local image that has custom dimensions defined either in its [wikilink](https://help.obsidian.md/syntax#External+images) or `<img>` tag. The original image (optimized or not) will still be assessable as a link on the preview image.

See [[Web-Image-Optimization|Web Image Optimization]] for feature introduction.
If an image has custom dimensions set, this plugin registers corresponding preview image spec with the [[Assets]] emitter so that the latter generates an additional preview image that matches the aspect ratio but with a small resolution bump. Note that [[Assets]] never upscales an image, so preview image file sizes are never larger than the originally sized optimized images.
Update the [[Assets]] emitter source code if you want to tweak the image format conversion or/and resizing logic with [`sharp`](https://github.com/lovell/sharp). Here are a few things you could do following code comments:
- Make `sharp` generate [WebP images](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-output/#webp) with lossless or near-lossless compression (may dramatically increase output file sizes).
- Make `sharp` emit [AVIF](https://caniuse.com/avif) images instead, which is considered a mainstream successor to the [WebP](https://caniuse.com/webp) format, has better compression ratio and image feature sets (such as HDR support), but currently has narrower browser support and may be slower in image processing.
- Enable optimization for animated GIF / GIFV images. Note that animated image processing can be very slow, only use it after testing!
> [!warning]
> If you use image tags with custom dimensions directly in your markdown documents, remember to manually add a `data-slug` property with the [[paths | full slug]] of the image file, otherwise the [[Assets]] emitter won't know which file path to emit the preview image to.

The logic to use optimized images in [[CustomOgImages | Custom OG Images]] is separately implemented in the `ogImage` emitter, but is fully transparent to end users.
