Webhackz
Private, in-browser alternative — nothing is uploaded

The private TinyPNG alternative

Compress JPEG, PNG, and WebP images right in your browser — no upload, no 20-image limit, no account. Just a quality slider and a before/after preview.

TinyPNG is a genuinely great compressor, but every image you drop into it is uploaded to its servers and kept for up to 48 hours, and the free web tool stops at 20 images of 5 MB each. If you'd rather not send your photos to a server — or you keep bumping into those limits — Webhackz compresses each image entirely inside your browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, there's no batch or file-size cap beyond your device's memory, and it's free with no sign-up.

Questions

Is there a free TinyPNG alternative that doesn't upload my images?

Yes. Webhackz compresses JPEG, PNG, and WebP images entirely in your browser, so they're never uploaded to a server. It's free, needs no account, and has no 20-image or 5 MB limit — only your device's memory.

Does TinyPNG upload your images?

Yes. TinyPNG uploads each image to its servers over HTTPS, compresses it there, and stores it for up to 48 hours before deleting it. Webhackz does the compression locally in your browser instead, so nothing is uploaded.

Will the compression be as good as TinyPNG?

For most photos and graphics the browser-based compressor gives a large size reduction with a quality slider and live preview. TinyPNG's specialized engine can sometimes squeeze a file smaller at the same quality, so if absolute smallest size matters most, it's worth comparing both.
