TinyPNG – Compress AVIF, WebP, PNG and JPEG images
Free online image optimizer for faster websites! Reduce the file size of your AVIF, WEBP, JPEG and PNG images while preserving the image quality.
What it is
TinyPNG (also known as Tinify) is an online image compression and optimization service. It uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of AVIF, WebP, PNG, and JPEG images. The service is designed for website owners, developers, and designers who need to improve website performance through faster image loading times.
Main Features
Compression and Conversion
- Compresses AVIF, WebP, PNG, and JPEG images
- Converts images between AVIF, WebP, PNG, and JPEG formats
- Supports Animated PNG (APNG) compression
- Automatically converts HEIC files to JPEG or other formats
Optimization Technology
- Employs a smart, intelligent algorithm for lossy compression
- Reduces file sizes by selectively decreasing colors (quantization for PNGs)
- Removes all unnecessary metadata to minimize file size
- Maintains visual quality while achieving significant size reduction
Platform and Integration
- Web-based drag-and-drop compressor interface
- Developer API for integration into custom workflows
- WordPress plugin for automated compression
- Image CDN service for optimized delivery
How it works
Using the Web Compressor
Users drag and drop images onto the web interface at tinypng.com. The intelligent algorithm automatically analyzes each image's content (colors, textures, patterns) and applies optimal compression settings. Free users can process up to 20 images at once (max 5MB each) and convert up to 3 images to other formats.
API Integration
Developers integrate the Tinify API into their applications and workflows. The API provides advanced features including resizing, converting, and cropping images, with options to preserve specific metadata like copyright information.
CDN Implementation
Website owners implement the Tinify CDN by routing image requests through the service. The CDN automatically optimizes and delivers images through multiple content delivery networks, handling compression and format conversion on the fly.
Key Points
- Compression can reduce file sizes by up to 80-85% with minimal visible quality loss
- Supports modern formats including AVIF and WebP alongside traditional PNG and JPEG
- Optimized images maintain full browser compatibility, including transparency support
- Privacy-focused: images are retained for maximum 48 hours before permanent deletion
- Trusted by major companies including Microsoft, Samsung, Sony, and Airbnb
