Where PuffPix pulls ahead

🗂

SVG — the format everyone forgets

TinyPNG and Kraken.io both drop SVG entirely. PuffPix compresses SVGs via SVGO on the same endpoint, same API key. One integration handles every format your project uses.

📁

Folder mode — unique to PuffPix

Point the API at a directory path and it compresses every image in-place, skipping files already under your size threshold. No shell scripts, no loops, no extra tooling.

Frequently asked questions

Is PuffPix a good TinyPNG alternative?

Yes — especially if you need SVG compression, folder-mode API calls, or a free trial that doesn't reset monthly. TinyPNG starts at €25/mo after its free tier; PuffPix starts at €3.50/mo with 100 free credits and no credit card required.

How does PuffPix compare to Kraken.io?

Kraken.io has no free tier at all. PuffPix starts free and uses open-source engines (pngquant, mozjpeg, cwebp) with transparent quality controls. Kraken also doesn't support SVG or folder-mode compression.

Why doesn't Squoosh have an API?

Squoosh is a Google web app designed for manual, one-at-a-time compression in the browser. It has no REST API, no bulk mode, and no WordPress plugin. Great for occasional use — not for automated workflows or CI pipelines.

What compression engines does PuffPix use?

pngquant for PNG (lossy palette reduction), mozjpeg for JPEG (better Huffman coding than libjpeg), and cwebp for WebP output. These are the same battle-tested open-source engines used by many CDNs and image pipelines.

Does PuffPix have a WordPress plugin?

Yes — auto-compresses on upload and includes a bulk-compress screen for your existing media library. Log in to your dashboard to download it.
