A blog post, a social media share, or an article gains a lot of weight if accompanied with an appropriate picture. But more often than not, the problem with including a picture in an online post lies in the picture's size. Let's look at this problem from another viewpoint. Many software applications need to work with photos – picture editing & enhancing tools, photo monitoring websites, databases, etc. Large sized photos could mean bulkier applications that take more time to complete operations. Another take to the issue – email attachment limitations; you can only attach pictures within a specific size limit.

Where there's a problem, modern day technology presents a solution. And in this article we're describing an awesome tool that solves the problem described above in a few clicks. Introducing, TinyPng, online image compression tool that reduces your image file size without decrementing its quality. Let's check it out.

TinyPng

Have you ever faced image size issues while trying to upload self-taken photos online? If you want to upload a photo taken with a good quality camera like a digital SLR, high resolution Smartphone or any other point and shoot camera, the typical file size of images ranges in a couple of MBs. The higher a camera's resolution, the bulkier the resulting images are with respect to disk size. And bulky images can not only be difficult to upload to social media, they are tough directly attach to emails, to share easily via collaboration tools, and can even cause performance problems in tools that work with them.

Ideally, the solution to these problems is an image compression tool that can reduce photo size. But most image compression tools end up reducing image quality (clarity, resolution, sharpness, etc) during the compression process.

Tinypng

TinyPng is a great online tool that lets you optimize your PNG images by reducing only their file size, not their quality. The tool uses smart ‘lossy' compression techniques to reduce image size by selectively decreasing the number of colors in it. The resulting images require fewer bytes to store the data. The effect is nearly invisible but it makes quite a large difference in file size. And the coolest thing about the tool is that it's 100% free. What more can you ask for!

Here are the best features of TinyPng at a glance:

  • TinyPng plays around with color indexes in image files and strips off unnecessary metadata to dramatically reduce file size.
  • PNG files compressed using TinyPng do not lose their transparency factor. They still support 100% transparency.
  • The files produced by the tool are displayed perfectly on all browsers and mobile devices.
  • The tool allows you to use its Developer APIs to connect your server to it and automatically compress all your images on the fly.
  • Sister tool TinyJPG.com performs the same operation on JPEG images.
  • Thumbs up on the convenience factor since you can upload images directly or specify image URL.
  • You can choose to preserve image details such as copyright information, GPS location and creation date in the compressed JPEG images. For PNG images the copyright information can be preserved.
  • Facilitates image resizing along with optimization. Upload the original photo once and then generate the sizes you need.
  • You can even use the tool to create image thumbnails with various aspect ratios through ‘smart cropping' technique.

Interested yet? We bet you are!

Here's how you can use TinyPng

Visit the tool's homepage and you'll see a large picturebox-like rectangle in the top half of the screen that says 'drop your .png or .jpg files here!' So navigate to the files you wish to compress, drag and drop them into the box and wait for the tool to upload them to its online compressor. Depending upon your Internet connection speed and original image size, the image will be uploaded, compressed, and prepared for download within a few seconds. A green colored progress bar will help you track the whole process.

Once the image is ready for download, you'll see a textbox-like rectangle below the picturebox that lists image details such as original filename, original file size, procedure status, file size post compression, a download link for the converted image, and what percentage of file size you saved. With our test image, we were able to save about 82% of the file size. So an image that was about 1.5MB is size originally was compressed to a mere 265.8KB in about 3 seconds. Neat! You'll also be given a link to either save the compressed image to Dropbox or Download it to your computer.

In addition to providing image compression, the tool also offers a Photoshop plugin with which you can save compressed JPEG and PNG images directly from Photoshop. Once you install the plugin, a new menu option will appear in Photoshop from where you can resize, preview, select a folder and save your images. The plugin is available for Windows as well as Mac machines and it is compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop CC, CC 2014 and CC 2015. This plugin however, is not free of cost; you'll have to shell out about $50 to get it.

Benefits VS Drawbacks

To be fair, TinyPng does have some decent benefits to it:

  • Free image compression for up to 500 images a month, maximum 20 images a day.
  • The tool is super easy to work with
  • Developer APIs for the tool are available for Ruby, PHP, Node.js, Python and Java.
  • Tool plugins are available for WordPress, Photoshop, Magento 1, and Magento 2.
  • In addition to resizing and optimizing, the tool performs additional operations on image automatically such as correcting gamma scaling, bicubic transparency edge correction and natural image sharpening.
  • Smart cropping resizes images by cropping away image parts that are visually the least interesting.

On the other hand, although it isn't very pricey, it does have some drawbacks which include:

  • The free version of the tool is able to compress images that are a maximum of 5MB in size
  • The tool can be used only for PNG and JPEG format images at present
  • Optimize your images with a perfect balance in quality and file size – @tinypng tinypng.com/ via @supermonitoring

How does it work?

After you upload an image to your WordPress site, each resized image is uploaded to the TinyJPG or TinyPNG service. Your image is analyzed to apply the best possible optimization. Based on the content of your image an optimal strategy is chosen. The result is sent back to your WordPress site and will replace the original image with one smaller in size. On average JPEG images are compressed by 40-60% and PNG images by 50-80% without visible loss in quality. Your website will load faster for your visitors, and you'll save storage space and bandwidth!

Getting started

Install this plugin and follow the instructions to set up your account. With a regular WordPress installation you can optimize roughly 100 images each month for free. The exact total depends on the number of thumbnail sizes that are in use in your WordPress installation. You can change which of the generated thumbnail sizes should be optimized on the Settings > Compress JPEG & PNG images page. Once installed you can also switch to a paid account which removes the limits and allows you to optimize as many images as you like.

Optimizing all your images

You can bulk optimize your existing JPEG and PNG images all at once by going to Media > Bulk Optimization. Clicking on the big button will start optimizing all unoptimized images in your media library.

Multisite support

The plugin is fully multisite compatible and you can set the API key for all sites by defining the key in your wp-config.php file. View the installation instructions for more information.

WooCommerce compatibility

This plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce. However, we have discovered that WooCommerce may be trying to regenerate image attachment metadata over and over again on each page visit. If you are using WooCommerce please follow the tips from the support section. This may make your WooCommerce shop even faster than it was before.

FAQ

Q: How many images can I optimize for free?

A: In a default WordPress installation you can optimize around 100 images for free each month. WordPress creates different thumbnails of your images which all have to be compressed. Some plugins even add more sizes, so take a look at the Settings > Compress JPEG & PNG images page before you start optimization.

Q: How can I remove the 500 limit?

A: Just add your Payment details on your account dashboard to remove the limit. For a small fee the additional compressions above 500 will then be charged to your account at the end of each month.

Q: What happens to the optimized images when I uninstall the plugin?

A: When you remove the plugin all your optimized images will remain optimized.

Q: I don't recall uploading 500 photos this month but my limit is already reached. How is this number calculated?

A: When you upload an image to your website, WordPress will create different sized versions of it (see Settings > Compress JPEG & PNG images). The plugin will compress each of these sizes, so when you have 100 images and 5 different sizes you will do 500 compressions.

Q: Is there a file size limit?

A: No. There are no limitations on the size of the images you want to compress.

Q: Can I use the same API key on all my websites?

A: Yes, there are no limitations. You can add the same key everywhere.

Q: Can I hide my API key from the admin?

A: Yes, you can hide your API key from the admin so other admin users will not be able to see it. To do this you should define the API key in your wp-config.php file. See the installation instructions for more information.

Q: What happens when I reach my monthly limit?

A: Everything will keep on working, but newly uploaded images will not be optimized. Of course we encourage everyone to switch to a paid account to cover the hosting and development costs of the service.

Q: Can I optimize all existing images in my media library?

Tiny Png Compression

A: Yes! After installing the plugin, go to Media > Bulk Optimization, and click on the start button to optimize all unoptimized images in your media library.

Q: How do I switch to a paid account?

A: You can upgrade to a paid account by adding your Payment details on your account dashboard. Additional compressions above 500 will then be charged at the end of each month as a one-time fee.

Tinypng Plugin For Photoshop Free Download 7 0

So many site builders tend to overlook image compression - one of the most important aspects of site speed (and SEO). This plugin not only takes care of that problem but also completely automates it. Simply set it to compress images as you upload them and get (in my case at least) an average of 60-70% file size reduction - and that's lossless reduction.I tried others but found this plugin cuts about twice as much file size as the others I tried. I used to always worry about compressing images before uploading, and wondering if I had already compressed them or not. Now I never even have to think about it.Thanks, TinyPNG!
