CLI

The glimpse CLI is the first-party command line tool for Glimpse. Every API operation is a small command, and the project tooling (init, check, the baseline) turns glimpse into a CI gate for your images:

cpx alias mathiasgrimm/glimpse-cli glimpse
cpx glimpse convert banner.png --format=avif

Wrote banner.avif (image/avif, 24.2 KB, 3200x840)

If it runs PHP 8.2, it runs glimpse. There is nothing else to install: no ImageMagick, no libvips, no encoder builds.
