Fogkits vs TinyPNG

Both shrink images for the web. Here's a plain breakdown by where pixels are processed, what each product is built for, and when each fit is clearer — no hype, no invented “always smaller” scores.

Quick take

Choose TinyPNG (Tinify) when you want a famous smart lossy upload compressor for WebP/PNG/JPEG (plus newer formats they advertise: AVIF/JXL/APNG), site-speed workflows, API / CDN / CMS plugins, and you are fine uploading non-sensitive assets (they state retention up to ~48 hours — verify live Terms).
Choose Fogkits when you want browser-local still compress (Image Compressor) so files stay on-device, a clear path to hit a KB target (under 100KB guide), and/or a local GIF compressor (GIF Compressor) for chat/email loops — plus the wider local still toolkit around compress.
Do not frame this as “Fogkits beats TinyPNG on file size.” Compression outcomes depend on source, format, and settings — compare job fit, not invented leaderboards.
Passport photo and background removal on Fogkits are not this page's hero and are not browser-local — keep this compare compress-cluster focused.

Feature comparison

Product surfaces and free-tier caps change — verify TinyPNG/Tinify and Fogkits live pages before you rely on a specific limit. This table is not a size shootout.

Job / dimension	Fogkits	TinyPNG / Tinify
Processing default (still JPG/PNG/WebP compress)	Browser-local on /image-compressor — source not uploaded to Fogkits for that tool	Upload to TinyPNG/Tinify servers, then smart lossy optimize (home: drag-and-drop web tool)
Stated upload retention	N/A for local compress; server tools (passport/bg) → see Fogkits Privacy	Live FAQ snapshot (2026-10-27): retain uploads maximum of 48 hours, then permanently deleted — verify Terms of Use §§8–9
“Smart” auto compress	Manual quality / target-size controls — honest craft, not Tinify’s branded algorithm claim	Home/positioning: smart lossy compression for faster websites
Still formats (marketing)	JPG, PNG, WebP on compressor (match live UI — do not invent AVIF/JXL support)	Home cites WebP, PNG, JPEG + AVIF/JXL/APNG in current positioning (re-check live)
GIF / animation	/gif-compressor — browser-local gifsicle WASM	Home positioning is stills + APNG; Fogkits GIF is the clearer classic chat-GIF path
Under-100KB / email / form caps	Guide /guides/compress-image-under-100kb + local compressor — best-effort, no guarantee a third party accepts the file	Upload optimizer for web performance; not framed as Fogkits-style “under 100KB checklist”
Batch / free web caps	Per-tool browser workflows; soft client size limits on tool pages (verify live)	Live home drop zone cites up to 20 images, max 5 MB each (free path) — re-check pricing/web plans; paid Web/API/CDN expand the product mix
Developer / CDN / plugins	No Tinify-style public compress API as the hero product	Developer API, Image CDN, WordPress / Figma plugins — clear win when automation is the job
Wider still toolkit around compress	Crop, resize, convert, flip, circle-crop, IG grid, etc. (mostly browser-local)	Compress/convert-focused optimizer family
Pricing model (honest)	Local compress/GIF: free downloads, no account. No fake “unlimited forever.”	Free web tier + paid Web plans + API usage — check live pricing; do not invent $ amounts
Best fit	Privacy-first stills + local GIF + KB-target guide	Upload smart compress + API/CDN/site pipeline when upload is OK
Size winner?	Not claimed	Not claimed

Where TinyPNG wins

Long-running smart lossy upload brand for web PNG/JPEG/WebP (and newer formats they advertise).
Automation: Tinify Developer API, Image CDN, WP/Figma-style integrations.
Fine when assets are non-sensitive and ~48h retention (per their FAQ — verify) is acceptable.
“Drop images → download smaller files” familiarity for site owners.

Where Fogkits wins

Browser-local JPG/PNG/WebP compress — originals stay on device for Image Compressor.
Explicit under 100KB how-to paired with the tool (compress under 100KB).
Local GIF compress for Discord/email-style loops (GIF Compressor) with honest third-party limit language.
Compress sits inside a local still toolkit (crop/resize/convert) without forcing a suite account for those jobs.

Which should you use?

Sensitive album / don’t want stills leaving the device: Fogkits Image Compressor.

Chat/email GIF size: Fogkits GIF Compressor (check Discord/email rules yourself).
Site pipeline, API, CDN, or CMS auto-compress on upload: TinyPNG/Tinify.
Want Tinify’s smart auto result and upload is OK: TinyPNG web tool.
Broad non-compress suite (batch crop/convert extras): see Fogkits vs iLoveIMG.
Deep GIF/animation toolkit comparison: Fogkits vs Ezgif.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fogkits a TinyPNG replacement?

Not one-for-one. TinyPNG/Tinify is a smart upload image optimizer with API/CDN/plugin depth. Fogkits offers browser-local still compression, a compress-under-100KB guide, a local GIF compressor, and other local micro-tools — different privacy model and product shape.

Does TinyPNG upload my images?

Yes for the web compressor — you drop files onto their tool and they process on their side. Their FAQ (as of a 2026-10-27 check) says uploads are retained for a maximum of 48 hours then permanently deleted; re-check TinyPNG / Tinify Terms / Legal before you rely on that window.

Does Fogkits Image Compressor keep photos on my device?

Yes for /image-compressor (and /gif-compressor): processing stays in the browser and Fogkits does not upload the source for those jobs. Passport photo and background removal on Fogkits do upload for server processing — they are separate products, not this compare’s primary CTAs.

Which is better if I need the smallest file?

There is no honest universal winner. Results depend on the source image, format, and settings. Fogkits lets you steer quality/target size locally; TinyPNG markets smart automatic lossy savings for web formats. Pick by privacy and workflow, not by an invented benchmark on this page.

Which is better for compressing under 100KB?

Start with Fogkits /guides/compress-image-under-100kb and /image-compressor when you want an on-device pass aimed at a KB cap. TinyPNG can also shrink uploads for the web — use it when upload is acceptable. Neither product can guarantee a third-party form or mailbox will accept every file.

Does TinyPNG replace Fogkits GIF Compressor?

For classic GIF chat/email loops, Fogkits /gif-compressor is the clearer on-site path (browser-local gifsicle). TinyPNG’s public positioning centers stills (and APNG among supported formats) plus web/API products — verify live if you need animation. For animation-suite depth vs Ezgif, see /compare/fogkits-vs-ezgif.
