Question 1

How do I compress multiple images at once with Tiny Image?

Accepted Answer

Simply drag and drop a folder containing images onto the app window; it will batch process them using your TinyPNG API key, making it efficient for web projects or asset optimization.

Question 2

Is Tiny Image free to use?

Accepted Answer

The app is free and open-source, but you need a TinyPNG API key, which has a free tier for up to 500 compressions per month; beyond that, paid plans are required, adding potential costs.

Question 3

Tiny Image vs ImageOptim: which is better for Mac?

Accepted Answer

Tiny Image uses TinyPNG's cloud-based compression for potentially better quality and modern formats like AVIF, while ImageOptim is local and free but lacks format conversion; choose based on need for cloud quality vs. local privacy.

Question 4

How to convert images to AVIF format on Mac?

Accepted Answer

Use Tiny Image's format conversion feature by dragging images and selecting AVIF as the target or letting it auto-pick the smallest format, leveraging TinyPNG's efficient compression algorithms.

Question 5

Can I use Tiny Image without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

Once your API key is configured, the app can compress images offline, but initial setup and API validation require an internet connection, as it relies on TinyPNG's service.

Question 6

Does Tiny Image support lossless compression?

Accepted Answer

It uses TinyPNG's service, which focuses on lossy compression for PNG and JPEG to reduce file sizes significantly; for true lossless optimization, you might need additional tools like OptiPNG.
