Switch to Diwadi - Unlimited, faster, free, more private
TinyPNG is excellent for occasional use (truly!), but was built for small batches. Diwadi is built for unlimited optimization - same quality, no limits, faster, more private.
Most users (70%+) will be happier with Diwadi.
Yes! Diwadi has no monthly limits, no file size limits, and no restrictions. Compress 1 image or 10,000 images - it's all free. TinyPNG limits you to 20 images/month (free) or 500/month ($25/year).
TinyPNG requires uploading your images (slow), processing on their servers, then downloading (slow). For 100 images, this takes 20-30 minutes. Diwadi processes locally using your GPU, compressing 100 images in 30-60 seconds - 25-50x faster.
Yes! Both produce excellent quality. TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression, Diwadi uses industry-standard algorithms (pngquant, mozjpeg). Real-world results: TinyPNG achieves 60-70% size reduction, Diwadi achieves 60-80% (customizable).
Absolutely! Some users keep TinyPNG for quick single-image optimization on the go, and use Diwadi for bulk work (90% of tasks). There's no rule you must pick one.
TinyPNG rejects files over 5MB. Diwadi has no file size limit - compress 50MB+ RAW conversions, high-res product photos, or any size image without restriction.
No! If you can use TinyPNG, you can use Diwadi. Install Diwadi (30 seconds), drag your images, choose compression level, click compress. Done. Same simplicity, but unlimited and faster.
TinyPNG processes images on their servers, which costs them bandwidth and infrastructure. Server-side processing requires monthly limits to manage costs. Diwadi processes locally using your computer, so there are no limits.
Diwadi has a generous free tier with all core features included. No hidden costs. We believe local processing should be accessible to everyone.
Respectful Competitor Note: TinyPNG is outstanding software that popularized image optimization. This comparison highlights different use cases, not quality judgments. TinyPNG excels for occasional use; Diwadi excels for unlimited batches.
