1. The Internet's Favorite Panda
If you build websites, you know the Panda. TinyPNG is the industry standard for online image compression.
Its secret sauce is Smart Lossy Compression. By selectively reducing the number of colors (quantization), it converts 24-bit PNGs to tiny 8-bit images while stripping metadata.
The Result? 70%+ smaller files with virtually no visible quality loss.
2. 2025 Updates: What's New?
1. Modern Format Support
It is no longer just for PNG/JPG.
- WebP: Fully supported. Compress your existing WebP files.
- AVIF: The cutting-edge format is now supported for uploads.
- APNG: It can even compress animated PNGs (rare but cool).
2. Tinify CDN
Parent company Tinify now offers a CDN.
- It automatically resizes, optimizes, and serves the right format (AVIF/WebP) based on the user's browser. A set-and-forget solution for devs.
3. Photoshop Plugin: Deprecated
Bad news: The official Photoshop plugin is no longer maintained.
Due to Adobe's platform changes, they now recommend using the Web interface or API. A sad day for designers who loved the in-app workflow.
3. TinyPNG vs. Squoosh
| Feature | TinyPNG | Squoosh (Google) |
|---|---|---|
| Action | Drag & Drop (Auto) | Manual Sliders |
| Batch | Yes (20 images) | No (1 by 1) |
| Control | None (Trust the Panda) | High (Tweak everything) |
| Privacy | Uploads to server | Local browser (Safer) |
| Best For | Speed, Batching | Geeks, single images |
4. API & Ecosystem
The API is rock solid.
- WordPress Plugin: Automatically compresses every image you upload to your media library. Essential for SEO.
- Pricing: First 500 API calls/month are free. Perfect for small sites.
5. Conclusion
TinyPNG is the definition of "Less is More."
No sliders, no confusion. Just "Drop your .png here."
In 2025, despite local tools like Squoosh, TinyPNG remains the King of Batch Processing and simplicity. In the web world, Speed is Money, and the Panda prints money.
TinyPNG 免费版有什么限制?
免费版允许你每次上传最多 20 张图片,且每张图片的大小不能超过 5MB。如果你需要上传更大的文件(最高 75MB)或一次性处理更多图片,需要升级到 Web Pro 版(约 $39/年)。
为什么我的 Photoshop 插件不能用了?
TinyPNG 官方已于近期宣布**停用(Deprecated)**其 Photoshop 插件,并不再提供更新维护。官方建议用户改用网页版或直接集成 API。如果你必须在本地处理,可以尝试 ImageOptim 等替代品。
TinyPNG 和 Squoosh 哪个更好?
TinyPNG 胜在“一键批量处理”,无需任何设置,适合追求效率的用户;Squoosh(Google 开发)胜在“极客级控制”,你可以手动调整压缩算法、质量参数并实时对比,适合对单张图片有极致追求的开发者。
