photu turns image batch-processing into shell pipes; `photu read *.jpg | resize 1600 | sharpen | write out/{name}.webp`; powered by libvips under one fused pass, ~6x faster than ImageMagick on my benchmarks.
MIT licensed, `npm i -g photu` (Node 22+), or try it with no install at tryphotu.vercel.app (now with autocomplete!!); would love feedback on what commands you're missing or just general thoughts.
