Images and media

--no-images skips this category (including cover art). JPEG and PNG default to lossless tools. Lossless JPEG/PNG strip EXIF/ICC unless --keep-meta.

Photos​

filerepack repack photo.jpg
filerepack repack photo.jpg --keep-meta
filerepack bulk ./photos --include-ext jpg,png,webp,avif,jxl --progress

--include-ext jpg also matches aliases (.jpeg, .thm, …).

Lossy when you opt in:

filerepack bulk ./photos --include-ext jpg,png --lossy --progress
filerepack repack shot.png --png-quality medium
filerepack repack shot.jpg --jpeg-quality 75

--ultra adds a zopflipng pass for PNG.

Video​

WMV/AVI/ASF/3GP/MPEG-TS convert to MP4 unless --no-convert-container. MKV/WebM/MOV/M4V keep their container.

filerepack bulk ./video --include-ext mp4,mkv,webm,mov --progress
filerepack bulk ./video --include-ext mp4,mkv,webm,mov --wmv-lossless

Needs ffmpeg.

Audio and cover art​

pip install 'filerepack[media]'
filerepack repack album.mp3
filerepack repack concert.flac

Cover art inside MP3/FLAC/M4A/Ogg/APE is optimized when filerepack[media] is installed. MP3 uses mp3packer (not packaged; see tools). --ultra passes mp3packer -z.

DICOM​

Lossless JPEG-LS only (gdcmconv or dcmcjpls). --lossy does not apply.

filerepack bulk ./dicom --include-ext dcm --progress
