Image compression that runs in your browser, so there is no 20-per-batch cap, no 5 MB ceiling and no 48-hour copy of your image sitting on someone's server.
No upload — files are processed in this tab
Compress images instantly and reduce file size efficiently.
This is the real tool, not a demo. Open Image Compressor on its own page.
TinyPNG's compressor is very good, and its 5 MB free ceiling exists because they pay for every byte you send them. AltFTool re-encodes in the browser with the codecs your browser already ships, which removes the batch and size caps but also removes the thing TinyPNG is famous for: a decade of tuning on palette quantization. On a flat-colour PNG or a logo, TinyPNG will usually produce a smaller file at the same perceived quality. On a photo you just need under a size budget, the difference is often not worth the upload.
| Comparison point | AltFTool | TinyPNG |
|---|---|---|
| Where the work happens | File tools (PDF, image, converters) run in your browser and the file is not uploaded. Tools that need live data or a model — AI tools, language checkers, lookups — send your input to an API, and say so on their own page. | Uploaded to Tinify servers; stored, optimised and deleted within 48 hours. |
| Account required | No — every tool opens and runs without signing in. | Not required for the free web tool. |
| Free tier ceiling | — | 20 compressions per batch, 5 MB per image, 3 format conversions per session. |
| Paid plans | None. There is no paid tier and no per-file metering. | Web Pro $3.25/month and Web Ultra $12.42/month, billed annually. |
| Ads | Yes — ads are what keep the tools free. | Yes on the free web tool; ad-free is a paid feature. |
| Desktop / mobile apps | No. Web only — no desktop or mobile app. | Plugins for WordPress and Photoshop rather than a standalone app. |
| API & automation | No public API. Tools are interactive pages, not endpoints. | Yes — 500 free compressions/month, then $0.009 each. |
Paid pricing: Web Pro $3.25/month billed annually; Web Ultra $12.42/month billed annually (USD, per user, per year)
