TinyPNG

What is TinyPNG?

TinyPNG is an Internet-based service that uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of PNG images. The service allows users to upload their PNG files, which are then processed on TinyPNG's servers. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the image, the algorithm is able to significantly reduce the file size without compromising the visual quality of the image. The effect of this compression is nearly invisible to the naked eye, yet it results in a substantial difference in the file size, making TinyPNG a valuable tool for optimizing image assets for web and mobile applications
