Which should you choose?
Choose Fluranto if you want to compress images quickly without uploading them to a server, without creating an account, and without running into monthly limits. The quality slider gives you direct control over the compression level — useful when you want to preview and fine-tune the result before downloading. Fluranto also covers more use cases beyond compression: resize, crop, convert, watermark, add text, and more.
Choose TinyPNG if you need a developer API to automate image compression in a build pipeline, CMS, or deployment workflow. TinyPNG's algorithm is specifically optimized for PNG files and integrates with WordPress, Photoshop, and other tools via official plugins. For high-volume automated compression where quality is handled automatically, TinyPNG is purpose-built.

Compress Image NowFrequently asked questions
Is Fluranto a free alternative to TinyPNG?
Yes. Fluranto's Compress Image tool is free with no account required and no monthly compression limit. TinyPNG's free tier limits you to 500 compressions per month via API, and the web interface has its own constraints. Fluranto processes images locally in your browser with no server upload.
Does Fluranto upload images to a server like TinyPNG?
No. Fluranto compresses images directly in your browser using client-side processing. Your image files are not sent to our servers. TinyPNG, by contrast, uploads your images to their servers for compression.
Can Fluranto compress PNG files like TinyPNG?
Yes. Fluranto supports PNG, JPG, and WebP compression. You can adjust the quality level to balance file size and image quality — something TinyPNG's web interface doesn't expose directly.
Does TinyPNG support JPG and WebP compression?
TinyPNG supports JPG and WebP in addition to PNG. Fluranto also supports all three formats with a quality slider for fine-grained control.
Which compresses images better — Fluranto or TinyPNG?
TinyPNG uses a proprietary lossy compression algorithm specifically optimized for PNG files and can achieve impressive results. Fluranto uses standard browser-side compression. For PNG specifically, TinyPNG may achieve slightly better compression ratios. For JPG and WebP, Fluranto's quality slider gives you full control over the trade-off between size and quality.
Does Fluranto have a compression API like TinyPNG?
Fluranto does not currently offer a compression API. TinyPNG's API is a key feature for developers automating image compression workflows. For API-based automation, TinyPNG is better suited.
Can I batch compress multiple images?
Both Fluranto and TinyPNG support processing multiple images. Fluranto processes each in your browser without upload limits imposed by a subscription.
Does Fluranto require an account?
No. Fluranto requires no account, no sign-up, no API key. Open the tool and compress immediately. TinyPNG's web interface works without an account but the API requires a key.
