They are continually tweaking things so that their service is always as good as it can be. There are no commitments, so you can switch back to the free plan any time. If you are using the API and want to optimize more than 500 images a month, or if you are working with files larger than 5MB or so, then you’ll want to subscribe to one of their monthly plans. # Optimize each image in the source folder.Ĭmd = "curl -u api:#" tinypng.rb ")įile.exist?(src) or fail("Input folder does not exist: " + src)įile.exist?(dst) or fail("Output folder does not exist: " + dst) # tinypng.rb - Placed into the public domain by Daniel Reese.ĪRGV.length = 2 or fail("Usage. The optimized images end up in the output folder.
It’s a command line tool that takes an input folder and an output folder. TinyPNG has a Photoshop plugin too, but I’ve never used it. I wrote a script to send all of the files to TinyPNG and then download the optimized versions into a separate folder. Whenever I added or changed an image, I would put it in a folder with all my original images. However, as I added more images, it became a little tricky to keep track of them all.Ībout a year and a half ago, I started using their new developer API. Drag-and-drop up to 20 files at once, wait, click to download, done. When I had only a few images, the website was perfect. The differences are there, but they are almost impossible to notice unless you know what you’re looking for. And I don’t notice any visual differences after the optimization process. I’ve found that most of my images are about twice as big as they need to be. TinyPNG discovers and removes this wasted space. Most PNG images are created in a way that wastes a lot of space. I tried out as many apps, command line tools and services as I could find, and never found anything as easy to use or as high quality. I’ve been using it for several years now. TinyPNG is a great service for optimizing and shrinking PNG files.
