Questions, answered
Every number below is checkable: theirs from their pages, ours from the counter beside the tool.
- What are TinyPNG’s free limits, exactly?
- Verified on its live pages (September 3, 2026): 20 images per batch, 5 MB per file, 3 conversions, and ads on the free tool. Web Pro ($3.25/month billed annually) lifts the compression caps but still allows only 3 conversions; unlimited conversions needs Ultra at $12.42/month. That wall is why you searched this.
- How do Blinkimg’s free limits compare?
- 50 images per batch, 30 MB per file, 10 conversions a session, no watermark. You can start without signing up: signed-out visitors get a 300-image daily allowance (100 an hour), counted live beside the tool. We enforce the numbers as printed; the counter next to the drop zone is the same number.
- Does Blinkimg compress as well as TinyPNG?
- Judge it measured, not claimed. Our 188.3 KB reference JPEG lands at 74.7 KB on Auto (−60.3%), and the same engine publishes its numbers on every page. Then drop your own file. The meter and compare slider report your result, which is the only benchmark that matters.
- What does Blinkimg have that TinyPNG doesn’t?
- An exact size cap ("compress to 50 KB", guaranteed never over), HEIC input straight from iPhones, a built-in editor that crops, colour-corrects, annotates, redacts and frames the compressed result, multi-image-to-one-PDF, and measured per-file savings with a compare slider. None are published in any TinyPNG tier as of September 2026. Its free conversions also stop at 3; Free here gives you 10 a session, and Pro Max makes them unlimited.
- What does TinyPNG have that Blinkimg doesn’t?
- Honestly: years of brand trust and enterprise logos, WordPress and Figma plugins, and a CDN product. We ship no plugin and no delivery network. If your workflow runs through the WordPress plugin or needs images served from an edge, TinyPNG is the safer pick.
- How does the API pricing compare?
- Ours comes out cheaper in every row. TinyPNG publishes 500 free compressions a month, then $0.009 each to 10,000 and $0.002 above. Our packs price the same volumes at $15 / $59 / $199, where TinyPNG’s full schedule bills ~$40.50 / ~$115.50 / ~$265.50. We compare against their real tiers, not a flat rate.
- Is switching from the TinyPNG web tool hard?
- No, there is nothing to switch: no account, no import, no settings. Drop the same files into Blinkimg and read the measured result. The only workflow change is dropping 50 at a time instead of 20 and getting one ZIP back with filenames preserved.
- Can I switch from the TinyPNG API?
- Yes. The shapes are deliberately close: upload, job, result over plain HTTPS and JSON. A swap is an endpoint-and-key change. Create a key from your account, point your client at ours, and the engine behind it is the one running this page.
- What happens to files I upload here?
- We process your files and wipe them automatically: we keep nothing, never archive, and never train on or sell anything. We strip EXIF/GPS from outputs by default. TinyPNG’s pages state its own retention. Almost nobody in the category states metadata handling; ours is a default, not a setting.
- Does Blinkimg have file-count or conversion paywalls?
- Batch size is never paywalled: every tier takes 50 images at once. Free gives you 50 compressions and 10 conversions a session on 30 MB files, plus 1,000 one-time API credits. Pro ($2.50/mo) makes compressions unlimited and lifts files to 90 MB. Pro Max ($8.50/mo) is unlimited on both, with 1 GB files, folder upload and more credits.
- Why trust a comparison page written by a competitor?
- Because every claim on it is checkable. We quote TinyPNG’s limits from its published pages and enforce ours in the open with a live counter. Every byte figure comes from a generated measurement file, and the section praising TinyPNG is real. Check any row before believing the rest.
