If you want a batch image compressor instead of TinyPNG, the best choice depends on whether you want desktop software, a CLI tool, or an API.

Good alternatives

1. ImageMagick + libvips

  • Great for bulk local processing
  • Supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, and more
  • Fast, scriptable, and free
  • Best if you want automation or a custom pipeline

2. Squoosh CLI

  • Open-source and based on Google’s Squoosh
  • Good compression quality, especially for modern formats
  • Can be used in batch jobs
  • Best for developers who want control over output settings

3. mozjpeg / pngquant / oxipng

  • Very effective format-specific tools
  • pngquant for PNGs with lossy compression
  • oxipng for lossless PNG optimization
  • mozjpeg for high-quality JPEG compression
  • Best if you want maximum compression efficiency per format

4. ShortPixel

  • Online service and API
  • Easy batch uploads and WordPress integration
  • Good if you want a TinyPNG-like service with automation

5. Kraken.io

  • Another TinyPNG-style online compressor
  • Supports bulk compression and API access
  • Useful if you want managed compression without building your own pipeline

6. Cloudinary

  • More of a full media management platform
  • Great for on-the-fly compression, resizing, and format conversion
  • Best for websites/apps with lots of images

Quick recommendation

  • Best free/local batch option: pngquant + oxipng + mozjpeg
  • Best developer-friendly batch option: libvips
  • Best TinyPNG-like hosted service: ShortPixel or Kraken.io
  • Best for full image pipeline: Cloudinary

If you want, I can also recommend the best option for Windows, macOS, Linux, or a Node/Python workflow.
