MakeTiny (image compressor)

Supported: JPG, PNG, WebP, and more. We recommend outputting WebP where possible for the best size/quality balance.


Image Converter

Tip: Converting PNG photos to WebP usually gives the biggest savings. Keep PNG for graphics with transparency when you need pixel-perfect edges.


Image Resizer

Tip: Serve images at or just above the rendered size in your layout. This can drastically reduce bytes transferred and improve LCP.


Using the web app (no API required)

Makepicstiny is built for the browser—no CLI or API setup needed.


Why small images matter (and why WebP is recommended)

Large images slow down your site, hurting Core Web Vitals like LCP and FID. By compressing and converting to modern formats (WebP/AVIF), you’ll reduce bandwidth, improve user experience, and boost SEO. Our MakeTiny compressor balances size and quality automatically—use WebP for most photos, and PNG for sharp graphics when needed.
