jpegoptim: Optimise JPEG images, stripping all non-essential data.
$ jpegoptim --strip-all ${image1-jpeg} ${image2-jpeg} ${imageN-jpeg}
try on your machine

The given command is using the tool "jpegoptim" to optimize JPEG image files by removing all metadata or non-essential information from the image. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  1. "jpegoptim": This is the command-line tool used for optimizing JPEG images.
  2. "--strip-all": This option instructs jpegoptim to remove all metadata and other additional information from the images.
  3. "${image1-jpeg} ${image2-jpeg} ${imageN-jpeg}": These are placeholders for the file paths of the JPEG images that you want to optimize. The command assumes that you have multiple images, denoted here as "image1.jpeg", "image2.jpeg", and "imageN.jpeg". You need to replace these placeholders with the actual paths of your image files.

By using this command, the jpegoptim tool will optimize, strip all metadata, and remove unnecessary information from the specified JPEG images, potentially reducing their file size without affecting the visual quality.
