Shrink a PNG without an editor

PNG is the right file for logos, interfaces, and screenshots with text. It is often the wrong file for a camera photo.

This page recompresses PNG. It will not flatten transparency unless you convert to JPEG on PNG to JPG.

How to compress PNG

  1. Drop PNG files only. Photos from a phone are often HEIC or JPEG. Use those tools instead.
  2. Compress. Graphics usually drop more than photographs.
  3. If the PNG is still huge, convert a photo to JPG or WebP. Keep PNG when you need a sharp edge or alpha.
  4. Download and delete.

When PNG is the wrong file

A 12 MP photo saved as PNG can stay several megabytes after 'compression' because the format is lossless. That is not a bug in the slider.

Alpha is kept. If you need a solid background for a form that rejects PNG, use PNG to JPG and pick the fill color there.

Questions

Will text in a screenshot stay sharp?

Usually yes. PNG is built for that. Avoid turning screenshots into JPEG unless the form forbids PNG.

Can I keep transparency?

Yes on this page. JPEG cannot. WebP can. See PNG to WebP.

Why did a photo PNG barely shrink?

Lossless compression has a floor. Convert the photo to JPG if size matters more than a lossless file.

Is this TinyPNG?

No. We compress with the same engine as the rest of Tinolia, then the files are deleted within 1 hour.

Can I compress several files at once?

Up to 10 PNGs, then a ZIP.

How large can each file be?

20 MB per file, 32 megapixels before we reduce.
