The Free TinyPNG Alternative

TinyPNG does one thing well — smart image compression. Pixoate matches that lossy and lossless compression and adds resize, format conversion, background removal and a full image-editing suite, with no per-batch image limit on the free tier.

Replace TinyPNG with these Pixoate tools

TinyPNG offers a free web tier (historically capped around 20 images per batch) plus a paid Developer API. Pixoate compression is free with no per-session image cap. Always verify current pricing and limits on each provider’s site.

When to pick which

Pick TinyPNG if

  • You only need image compression and prefer their minimal UI
  • You already pay for their Developer API and it is wired into your build
  • You want their specific Photoshop / Figma plugins

Pick Pixoate if

  • You hit TinyPNG’s free per-batch image limit
  • You also need to resize, convert formats, or edit the same images
  • You want a compress-to-target-size mode (under 100KB / 50KB)
  • You want one place for image, PDF and document tools

FAQ

Is Pixoate a free TinyPNG alternative?

Yes. Pixoate’s image compressor uses a lossy and lossless hybrid approach and is free to use with no per-batch image cap. Uploaded images are processed on secure servers and auto-deleted after processing.

Can I compress images to an exact file size like under 100KB?

Yes — Pixoate’s compressor has a target-size mode (under 100KB, 50KB or 25KB) that lowers quality until it hits the byte budget. This is useful for email, government portals and web upload forms.

Does Pixoate have an API like TinyPNG’s Developer plan?

API access for batch compression is available on the Pixoate Enterprise plan. Contact sales for documentation and rate limits.

What formats can Pixoate output?

JPG, PNG and WebP, plus dedicated converters for HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, BMP and SVG. Verify the latest supported formats on the tool page.
