Privacy-first image optimization for developers and designers. Compress thousands of images without a single cloud upload.
TinyPNG is beloved for its incredible lossy compression. It has helped millions of websites load faster. However, as developers move toward 'Local-First' and 'Office-Anywhere' workflows, the requirement to have a fast internet connection to compress images is becoming a burden.
Traditional services like TinyPNG use their own proprietary servers to handle the heavy lifting of algorithmic compression. This is efficient for small batches, but what happens when you need to optimize an entire directory of 500 assets for a new project launch?
The downside of the cloud is the 'Up' in 'Upload.' If you're working on a public Wi-Fi or have a capped connection, sending hundreds of megabytes just to have them shrunk by 70% is immensely inefficient. You're wasting bandwidth to save bandwidth.
ToolNet brings the compression engine to you. Using browser-native Image Processing APIs and WASM-based optimizations (like MozJPEG and OxiPNG), we can achieve the same high-quality lossy or lossless compression entirely on your GPU and CPU. No upload required.
For developers, this means faster build times and zero dependency on a stable internet connection for asset optimization. It's the ultimate 'TinyPNG Alternative' for the modern, privacy-conscious workflow. You can integrate our local compression into your local build pipeline.
Our tool automatically suggests the best format for your image. Convert PNG to WebP with a single click, getting better compression and modern web standards compliance entirely within the browser.
Ownership is key. With ToolNet, you own the tool, you own the engine, and you own the data. That's the local-first promise.
