Me, and any other tech writer will stick with TinyPNG, as it is much faster an that's what matters in the fast flowing information business. But, we had to deal with a lot more steps to get there. Having arrived here, we find a more or less identical result to the one, TinyPNG achieved.

After the compression finishes the image is automatically downloaded to the default download folder on your local drive. Usually results get a little better than the previous estimate promised. It is only as soon as you click 'Compress' to the right side of the image section, that the compression process actually starts. My picture after having CompressPNG handle it using default values CompressPNG allows you to shift the preview section to more critical areas of the image you might want to inspect closer. Using default values results from TinyPNG and CompressPNG are largely the same, with minor differences.

Right next to it, the same section is presented with an estimate of the compression result using default values, Default values are identical to TinyPNG, with PNG8, 256 colors and full transparency. Having chosen an image, a section of it gets shown below the queue.

CompressPNG without manual alterations: results identical to TinyPNG, but a lot more time consuming to get there After all images got uploaded, we can see them as thumbnails in an overview. First we equip an upload queue via Drag & Drop or via 'Select Files'. Screenshoot, upload, wait a second, download, perfectly shrunk, go!ĬompressPNG needs a lot more effort and editing steps. TinyPNG is darn fast, thus making the perfect companion for a tech editor. This has its advantages as well as disadvantages, while the definition of what is what largely depends on how you look at it.

Looking at UI and the editing capabilities CompressPNG and TinyPNG have nothing in common. Larger files produced error messages.Īs you can see, the basics are different, but only to a certain, I'd say minor extent. In my tests I was able to upload pictures up to a maximum size of 5 MB. CompressPNG does not offer explicit information as to how large the original images can be.Only JPG files that should have been PNG from the start will show the expected behavior. More likely is, that these files are gonna grow larger than before. If you convert these to PNG it is unlikely you'll be able to achieve a smaller file size. But beware: Images being saved as JPG are most likely rightfully saved in that format. TinyPNG does not offer anything similar to this. It automatically converts the other formats to PNG. Instead it allows BMP, GIF, ICO and JPG also. CompressPNG handles up to 20 images at once, just like TinyPNG does.It does have some significant differences though. CompressPNG: More Powerful Than TinyPNG Because of a Higher FlexibilityĬompressPNG, created by Czech agency Mediafox Marketing, located in the beautiful city of Prague, offers a comparable, basically identical service. Once the service has finished shrinking your images, a download-link is shown, enabling you to pull the pictures back onto your local disk, ready to be used in your articles, designs, whatever needs small file sizes. A test image after having been handled by TinyPNG The workflow is simple: Upload up to 20 pictures from your hard drive and watch TinyPNG start compressing immediately after each upload has finished. TinyPNG still is the all-round carefree package for fast and easy optimization of PNG images. TinyPNG without flaws: It always achieves stable reduction values around 70% Results are still great, but images can now be 3 MB per single picture, while back in summer only 1 MB per image was allowed. Compared to what we found in summer of 2012, not much has changed. We've introduced you to TinyPNG before, so I won't be going through all the basics again.

Mac users will find a nifty alternative to both online services. Chances are good, as you'll see if you read on. A brand-new service from the Czech Republic by the name of CompressPNG has arrived, ready to dethrone TinyPNG. Around 70% less weight than before is what TinyPNG promises and almost always achieves, while you don't even see the difference. Many of you, I know I did, will have integrated TinyPNG into their daily workflows. If you are a regular reader, you will certainly remember TinyPNG, a fresh service, created by Voormedia from the Netherlands, that lets you compress PNGs easily and to a noticeable extent.
