In-house engine · tuned per image · fast and lightweight
Drop images in and they are compressed. Our in-house engine finds the best size-versus-quality balance for each one. No sign-up needed.
Images are used only for the current compression: encrypted in transit, served over private links, never leaked, and never used for training or any other purpose. · Privacy Policy
Quality on par with the best, backed by public benchmark data
Quick uploads — no long waits before compression starts
Encrypted in transit · private-link access · never leaked · never used for training
Install the MiniPic desktop app and compression stops being a “step” — right-click, automatic, local; it goes wherever your images are.
Select images in Finder or File Explorer, right-click “Compress with MiniPic,” and a small capsule window does it in a flash, replacing the original in place. The original is backed up and restorable in one click.
Turn your “export” folder into an automatic task: anything dropped in later is compressed and replaced under the same name, with originals sent to the trash and recoverable. You never have to remember to “compress that.”
Compression happens entirely on your computer — zero uploads, zero network, works even offline. Perfect for sensitive assets and internal company images.
Your machine's cores run at full tilt, compressing dozens to thousands reliably, never bottlenecked by your upload speed.
Find yourself below and see how your repetitive work gets solved for good.
Marketplaces cap file size, so you export, upload and compress batch after batch — repetitive and slow.
Social and blog images need to be fast and sharp, and the upload-download loop gets old.
You need to confirm quality before delivery, so you can't compress blindly.
Build pipelines need to be reliable, automatable, and expensable.

We only show numbers we can prove. Compare with your own images and judge for yourself.
We compare our in-house engine against best-in-class technology stacks image by image, and publish every size and quality metric on the benchmark page. You can also upload one of your own images right now and see the before/after difference for yourself.
Report generated: pending benchmark data
Color quantization and encoding are all built in-house, finding the best parameters for each image — not one-size-fits-all settings — so the same quality compresses smaller.
On the web, images are used only for the current compression: encrypted in transit · private-link access · never leaked · never used for training or any other purpose, and permanently deleted within 24 hours.
With the desktop app installed, images never leave your computer — local compression, zero uploads, works offline.
Pro (web + desktop combined) and the API are priced separately and bought as needed; neither includes the other.
