How can I optimize images in my Webpack project?

You can optimize images in your Webpack project using loaders like 'image-webpack-loader' or 'url-loader'. These help compress images and convert them to base64 format.

What are the benefits of using 'image-webpack-loader'?

The 'image-webpack-loader' provides several benefits, including lossless and lossy compression, support for various image formats, and the ability to optimize images during the build process.

Can you show me a sample Webpack configuration for image optimization?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

module.exports = {
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg)$/,
        use: [
          'file-loader',
          {
            loader: 'image-webpack-loader',
            options: {
              mozjpeg: {
                progressive: true,
                quality: 65
              },
              pngquant: {
                quality: [0.65, 0.90],
                speed: 4
              },
              // other options
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
};

Are there any alternatives to Webpack for image optimization?

Yes, alternatives include Gulp with plugins like 'gulp-imagemin', Grunt with 'grunt-contrib-imagemin', or using online tools for manual optimization.
