Comparison
bruhgrow vs TinyPNG
TinyPNG is the classic drag-and-drop image compressor. It works by uploading your images to its servers and sending back smaller versions. The free web tool has limits on how many images you can do at once, and the API and Pro plan are paid. bruhgrow compresses images on your device, in bulk, with the option of an exact size target.

Where TinyPNG shines
- A developer API and plugins that compress images inside your own build or CMS.
- Very good smart lossy PNG compression with almost no visible change.
Where bruhgrow is different
- Compress to an exact KB: tell it "under 100 KB" and every file comes out below that.
- No per-batch limit; drop a folder of photos.
- Convert at the same time: JPG to WebP or AVIF for a faster website.
- Nothing uploaded, which matters for client photos and unpublished work.
Questions
- How small can bruhgrow make an image?
- As small as you ask. Compress to exact KB lowers quality first and only reduces dimensions if quality alone is not enough to hit the target.
- Does it keep transparency in PNGs?
- Yes. Compress PNG keeps the alpha channel. If you convert to JPG, transparent areas become white.
- Are the images uploaded?
- No. Compression uses the browser’s own image codecs and WebAssembly encoders on your device.
