2. Modify your code following the instrunctions on the usage section.
3. heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/jayzes/heroku-buildpack-optipng
4. heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 https://github.com/jayzes/heroku-buildpack-jpegoptim
5. git push heroku

• It is important to do a push to heroku after the buildpacks have been declared.

Usage

To add image optimization to your CarrierWave uploader, first include the module:

class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  include CarrierWave::ImageOptimizer
  ...
end

Then apply to all versions via:

class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  ...
  process :optimize
end

Or to a single image version via:

class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  ...
  version :thumbnail do
    process :optimize
  end
end

Lossy JPEG optimization

Pass an optional quality parameter to target a specific lossy JPG quality level (0-100), default is lossless optimization. PNGs will ignore the quality setting.

class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  ...
  version :thumbnail do
    process optimize: [{ quality: 50 }]
  end
end

Quiet Mode

Pass an optional quiet parameter to compress images without logging progress.

class MyUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
  ...
  version :thumbnail do
    process optimize: [{ quiet: true }]
  end
end
