TinyPNG vs PixelsKits: Compression When Privacy Matters
TinyPNG is great at shrinking PNG and JPG. Here is when a no-upload compressor is the better default for personal photos and client work.
TinyPNG popularized smart lossy compression for PNG and JPEG. For public website assets, uploading to a trusted compressor is often fine. The calculus changes when the files are IDs, family albums, unpublished product shots, or client deliverables.
PixelsKits Compress Image runs in the browser. You get quality sliders, batch ZIP downloads, and format choices without sending pixels to a remote worker. That removes retention and log risk for sensitive media.
Use TinyPNG or similar when you already publish the asset and want a known cloud workflow. Use PixelsKits when “this should never leave my laptop” is the requirement—or when you also need resize, HEIC convert, EXIF strip, and watermark in the same private suite.
Open Compress Image, aim for 75–82% quality after a sensible resize, and download. Pair with Remove EXIF before posting publicly.
