🚀 Optimize and Compress JPEGs Efficiently​

Speed up page load times by stripping metadata and adjusting JPEG quality in a single pass. MiniMagick provides straightforward methods to remove EXIF data and set compression levels, reducing file size without manual ImageMagick flags.

image = MiniMagick::Image.open("large.jpg")
# Remove all profiles and comments
image.strip
# Set JPEG quality (0-100)
image.quality "85"
# Optionally interlace for progressive loading
image.interlace "Plane"

image.write("large_optimized.jpg")
