TinyPNG only compresses images. BatchSet converts, compresses, generates QR codes, resizes for social, and shortens URLs — 8 tools in one. Compare free tiers, pricing, and features.
TinyPNG is one of the most popular image compression tools on the web — and for good reason. It does one thing exceptionally well: shrink PNG, JPEG, and WebP file sizes through smart lossy compression.
But if your workflow requires more than compression — format conversion, QR code generation, bulk processing from a spreadsheet, social media image resizing, or URL shortening — TinyPNG can't help you. You'd need 4–6 separate tools.
BatchSet was built to replace that entire toolkit. One platform, 8 tools, starting at $0.
We're not here to trash TinyPNG — it's a solid tool for its intended use case. Here's when you should choose it over BatchSet:
These are the TinyPNG limitations that bring users to BatchSet:
TinyPNG compresses your PNG or JPEG, but it cannot convert between formats. Need to convert JPG to WebP? You'll need a separate tool like Squoosh or Convertio — then import that file back to TinyPNG to compress it.
TinyPNG is an image tool only. Marketers, e-commerce sellers, and event managers who also need QR codes or short links have to use entirely separate tools — each with their own account, pricing, and interface.
TinyPNG doesn't know what a 1080×1080 Instagram square or a 1584×396 LinkedIn banner is. Resizing images for social media requires a different tool — Canva, Adobe Express, or a manual resize in Photoshop.
TinyPNG's bulk capabilities require the paid Developer API ($25/year). The free web tool processes images one at a time (or small batches via drag-and-drop). There's no spreadsheet/Excel workflow for processing hundreds of image URLs.
TinyPNG is stateless. Once you download your compressed image, there's no history, no re-download link, and no dashboard. BatchSet keeps a full conversion history with re-download links based on your subscription tier.
Yes — TinyPNG's web interface is free with no account required. The API (for developers/automation) has a free tier of 500 images/month, with paid plans starting at $25/year.
No. TinyPNG compresses images but cannot convert between formats. To convert JPG to WebP you need a different tool. BatchSet supports JPG → WebP, PNG → WebP, and all major format conversions.
TinyPNG doesn't do format conversion, QR code generation, URL shortening, barcode creation, social media resizing, bulk URL-based batch processing, or PDF conversion. It is a single-purpose compression tool.
BatchSet. Shopify sellers need WebP format (for Core Web Vitals), bulk processing of product images, and often QR codes for packaging. TinyPNG only compresses; BatchSet converts, compresses, and bulk-processes — including via spreadsheet URL batches.
Yes. BatchSet includes image compression as part of every conversion. You get smaller files (WebP is 60–80% smaller than PNG/JPEG at equivalent quality) plus 7 additional tools — all starting at 30 free credits per month.
Convert images, generate QR codes, shorten URLs, resize for social media — all in one dashboard. 30 free credits every month, no credit card required.
