# Tinify.dev

> Tinify.dev is a free online image toolbox with a paid API behind the same
> engine. It compresses, resizes, crops, and converts AVIF, WebP, JPEG, PNG,
> and GIF images. Results are reported honestly: if an operation would make a
> file larger, the original is returned and labeled as not optimized. Uploaded
> files and results are permanently deleted after two hours. No ads, no
> watermarks.

Tinify.dev is operated independently and is not affiliated with Tinify B.V.
or TinyPNG.
