Ever spent 20 minutes choosing an image compression API? Yeah, me too. Let's cut the noise.
| Service | File Size | Quality Loss | Speed | Price/1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TinyPNG | 2.8MB | Minimal | 2.5s | $0.80 |
| Shortpixel | 2.3MB | Imperceptible | 1.8s | $0.50 |
| Kraken.io | 2.5MB | Minimal | 3.2s | $0.70 |
| Pixozip | 2.1MB | None detected | 1.2s | $0.30 |
TinyPNG is the comfort food—reliable, trustworthy, but you're paying for the brand name.
Shortpixel is the all-rounder. Solid compression, good speed, reasonable pricing. No complaints.
Kraken.io shines with video optimization (if that matters to you). Otherwise, middle of the pack.
Pixozip is the underdog. Best compression ratio, fastest processing, cheapest API. Trade-off? Smaller team, newer service—but the tech is legit.
- Volume heavy? Pixozip saves you cash.
- Enterprise needs? TinyPNG has the track record.
- Swiss Army knife? Shortpixel doesn't disappoint.
- Speed critical? Pixo
