The Free TinyPNG Alternative That Keeps Your Files Private
TinyPNG is a lovely image compressor — but it uploads your images to its servers and limits the free tier. Breklo compresses PNG, JPG and WebP right in your browser, with no upload and no cap.

Why choose Breklo
No upload, no image cap
TinyPNG uploads your images to its servers and limits free use (by number of images and file size). Breklo compresses images locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and there's no cap on how many you process.
More than compression
Beyond compressing, Breklo also resizes, converts (JPG/PNG/WebP/HEIC), and merges images — a fuller image toolkit in one place.
Completely free
TinyPNG's heavier use and API sit behind paid plans. Breklo's image tools are entirely free.
In fairness to TinyPNG
TinyPNG pioneered smart lossy compression and produces excellent results with a beautifully simple interface. Its compression quality is a benchmark, and for a handful of images it's effortless.
The honest verdict
TinyPNG's compression quality is superb for a few images. If you want unlimited compression with no upload, plus resizing and format conversion in one place, Breklo is the more flexible free alternative.
