TinyPNG

4.8 / 5

TinyPNG has revolutionized image optimization since its launch, compressing over 1 billion images for developers and designers. Using smart lossy compression techniques, it reduces PNG and JPEG file sizes by up to 70% while maintaining near-perfect visual quality. The service analyzes each image to find the best optimization strategy, selectively decreasing the number of colors and removing unnecessary metadata. TinyPNG supports batch uploads of up to 20 images and provides a developer API for automated workflows. It is particularly valuable for web developers looking to improve page load speeds without compromising image quality.

What It Does Best

Free Plan Limitations

The web tool allows roughly 20 images per batch; the API is metered separately with a free monthly quota.

Who Should Skip It

Anyone needing lossless compression or RAW photo workflows — TinyPNG is lossy by design.

How It Compares

Compared to Squoosh, TinyPNG is faster for batches but offers less control over compression settings.

ToolStep's Recommendation

The default choice for web image compression — the free tier covers most sites, the API for automation.

Based on TinyPNG official documentation and published API pricing as of June 2026.
