What I’d do first

  • TinyPNG is a web-based image optimization service from Tinify that focuses on shrinking image files for web use.
  • It supports PNG, JPEG, and WebP compression, and some references also note AVIF and JPEG XL support in broader Tinify product listings.
  • The tool uses smart lossy compression and quantization techniques, which reduce file size by lowering redundant color data.

For SEO practitioners, smaller images can improve page speed, reduce bandwidth, and support better Core Web Vitals performance. TinyPNG is useful in image workflows, CMS plugins, and developer pipelines where repeated manual optimization would be too slow.
