Privacy & Security
TinyPNG uploads your images to its servers for compression. While the service is reputable, this means your images temporarily reside on a third-party cloud. Alleex compresses images directly in your browser using client-side processing — your files never leave your device. This makes Alleex the better choice for compressing proprietary images, screenshots with sensitive data, or personal photos.
Verdict
TinyPNG is excellent at what it does — fast, reliable image compression with great quality preservation. If you need a developer API for automated image optimization, TinyPNG is hard to beat. But for everyday image compression needs, Alleex matches the quality while adding format conversion, resizing, background removal, and hundreds of other tools — all free, all private, and all without sign-up. For most users, Alleex offers far more value.
