Image Compression: Privacy vs Optimization
Image compression is a balance between file size and quality. TinyPNG is the industry leader in compression ratios, but DevUtility offers something TinyPNG can't: complete privacy.
How Each Tool Works
DevUtility uses the HTML5 Canvas API to re-render images at lower quality settings. TinyPNG uses advanced quantization algorithms on their servers to achieve smaller file sizes with less quality loss.
When Privacy Matters
If you're compressing screenshots of code, internal dashboards, client mockups, or any proprietary images, sending them to TinyPNG's server is a risk. DevUtility processes everything locally.
The Practical Choice
Use DevUtility for sensitive or internal images with no upload limits. Use TinyPNG for public-facing assets where maximum compression matters and you're within the 20/day free limit.
