Free alternative
A free, private TinyPNG alternative
TinyPNG is the go-to for shrinking PNG and JPG files, but it uploads your images to its servers and the free web tool limits you to 20 images and 5 MB each. cutbg compresses in your browser with no upload, no count limit, and lets you target an exact file size like 100 KB.
cutbg vs TinyPNG
| cutbg | TinyPNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free, unlimited | Free up to 20 files / 5 MB |
| Files uploaded to a server | No — runs in your browser | Yes |

Why choose cutbg
- No 20-image or 5 MB limit — compress as many as you like
- Aim for an exact size (10 KB … 5 MB) to fit any upload cap
- Images are compressed locally and never uploaded
- Free, no account, no watermark
Where TinyPNG is still better
TinyPNG has an excellent developer API and official CMS plugins (WordPress, etc.) with server-side batch pipelines — for automated build steps or a large team, their paid API remains a strong choice.

Can cutbg compress to a specific KB size like TinyPNG?
Yes — cutbg has dedicated pages to compress to 100 KB, 200 KB, 1 MB and more, which TinyPNG's free tool does not offer.
Are there upload limits like TinyPNG's 20 files?
No. Because compression runs in your browser, there is no per-batch file or size cap.
