Batches

Pass one or more files or folders as inputs. Folder discovery filters for supported image formats and produces a plan for each discovered file.

Terminal window
rastry ./public ./marketing/hero.png --to webp --output ./optimized --dry-run

Isolated results

Section titled “Isolated results”

Batch execution keeps each file result separate. A file can be processed, skipped, failed, or cancelled; one invalid input does not hide successful results from the rest of the batch.

The summary includes:

  • processed, skipped, failed, and cancelled counts;
  • bytes before and after for processed files; and
  • the input and planned output path for each file.

Use –json when a script needs to decide whether to fail a job:

Terminal window
rastry ./public --to webp --dry-run --json

Output directories

Section titled “Output directories”

Use –output ./optimized to keep results away from source files. If no directory is provided, Rastry derives a sibling filename with the -rastry suffix. Existing outputs are reported as conflicts; they are not silently replaced. See safety for preflight details.
