preset, regardless of the order you write the arguments.

CAUTION: 'all' will convert APNGs to standard PNGs.
Note that 'bKGD', 'sBIT' and 'hIST' will be forcibly stripped if the color type or bit
depth is changed, regardless of any options set.
Please note that regardless of any options set, some chunks will necessarily be stripped
when invalidated by the optimization:
bKGD, sBIT, hIST: Stripped if the color type or bit depth changes.
iDOT: Always stripped.
caBX: Stripped if it contains C2PA metadata. If explicitly retained by `--keep`,
optimization will be aborted.
The default when --strip is not passed is to keep all metadata.

Stop Zopfli compression after this number of iterations without improvement. Use this in
conjunction with a high value for '--zi' to achieve better compression in reasonable time.

Set the libdeflate compression level to use with the Brute filter strategy. Sane values

Set the number of lines to compress at once with the Brute filter strategy. Sane values

are already in progress, so it is currently of limited effectiveness for large files with
high compression levels.
--max-raw-size <bytes>
Maximum size to allow for the input image. If the raw, decompressed image data (or the
file size) of the image exceeds this size, it will be skipped. This is useful for limiting
memory usage or avoiding long processing times on large images. The value may be specified
with a unit suffix such as k, KB, m, MB, etc.
The decompressed size of an image is roughly equal to width * height * bit-depth / 8. E.g.
a 1920x1080 image with 24-bit color depth would be roughly 6MB.
-t, --threads <num>
Set the maximum number of threads to use. Oxipng uses multithreading to evaluate multiple
optimizations on the same file in parallel as well as process multiple files in parallel.
