Gulp

You can use @flexis/srcset with Gulp:

import srcSet from '@flexis/srcset/lib/stream';

gulp.task('images', () =>
    gulp.src('src/*.{jpg,png}')
        .pipe(srcSet([{
            match: '(min-width: 3000px)',
            width: [1920, 1280, 1024, 860, 540, 320],
            format: ['jpg', 'webp']
        }, {
            match: '(max-width: 3000px)',
            width: [1, .5],
            format: ['jpg', 'webp']
        }], {
            skipOptimization: true
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('static'))
);

import SrcSetGenerator from '@flexis/favicons';
import Vinyl from 'vinyl';

async function generate() {
    const path = 'src/background.jpg';
    const contents = await fs.readFile(path);
    const source = new Vinyl({
        path,
        contents
    });
    const srcSet = new SrcSetGenerator();
    const images = srcSet.generate(source, {
