Best TinyPNG Alternative

TinyPNG (with TinyJPG under the same Tinify service) is a popular online way to shrink PNG and JPEG files. If you want the same outcome without uploading, with resize, more formats, and control on your machine, GetCompress is the better TinyPNG alternative.

GetCompress vs TinyPNG at a glance

	GetCompress	TinyPNG
Best for	Local compress, resize, and convert	Quick online smart lossy optimize
Formats	JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, SVG, and more	Strong on PNG/JPEG (Tinify also documents WebP/AVIF via API)
Upload	None; files stay on the device	Files go to TinyPNG / Tinify servers
Resize and convert	Same local step	Available via web/API flows; core web UX is compress-first
Beyond images	Video, GIF, PDF	Image optimization service
Batch	Local queue and folders	Web and API batch with service limits
Cost model		Free web tier with limits; paid API

What TinyPNG is good at

TinyPNG applies smart lossy compression that often keeps images looking good at a much smaller size. The web tool is familiar, and the Tinify API supports automation for supported formats. For a public marketing asset that is already safe to upload, it can be enough.

Weak spots: anything confidential should not go to a random upload service, free tiers have limits, HEIC and SVG workflows are weaker than a desktop media app, and you still leave your machine for the core job. See are online file compressors safe .

Why GetCompress is the better alternative

GetCompress does the TinyPNG-style job locally:

• No upload, so client photos and product shots never leave the device, and there is no server file-size cap on your end.
• Quality, resolution, and format in one panel, including WebP, HEIC, and SVG paths many web compressors skip.
• Batch and presets without counting online free compressions.
• Preview before you accept an aggressive setting.
• Video, GIF, and PDF when the next attachment is not another PNG.

TinyPNG’s reputation for “smart” web compression is fair. GetCompress wins when privacy, format coverage, and finishing the file on your computer matter more than a browser upload.

TinyPNG or GetCompress

Situation	Better pick
Client, product, or private photos	GetCompress
HEIC, SVG, or convert plus compress	GetCompress
Folder of images without upload limits	GetCompress
One non-sensitive PNG/JPEG in a browser	TinyPNG can still work; GetCompress stays stronger overall

Using GetCompress instead of TinyPNG

1. Drop PNG, JPEG, or other supported images into GetCompress.
2. Set quality and optional resize or format (for example PNG to WebP).
3. Preview, export, and keep masters until you check the result.
