20 images per batch is a real bottleneck
TinyPNG's free web interface caps you at 20 images per batch. Processing 200 product photos? That's 10 separate drops. WebSurfTools has no batch size cap — drop the whole folder at once.
Short answer: WebSurfTools is a free TinyPNG alternative with no 20-image batch cap, no 5 MB per-file limit, and no sign-up. It compresses PNG and JPG images entirely inside your browser — no uploads, no accounts, unlimited batches, free forever.
TinyPNG is the classic free image compressor, but its free tier caps you at 20 images per batch and 5 MB per image. For optimizing a folder of photos or a site's image asset library, those limits bite fast. This page compares WebSurfTools and TinyPNG on the caps that actually matter for bulk image work.
These are the friction points that show up repeatedly in public reviews of TinyPNG. Every one of them is something WebSurfTools is built to avoid by design.

Modern phone cameras routinely produce 10–15 MB images. TinyPNG's 5 MB free cap excludes most of them. WebSurfTools processes files locally with no artificial size cap.
TinyPNG uploads every image to its servers for compression. WebSurfTools' image compressor runs entirely inside your browser, so your photos never leave your device.
TinyPNG pushes its paid Pro tier for larger files, larger batches, and API access. WebSurfTools has no Pro tier because there are no caps to remove.
TinyPNG has to upload every image to its servers before it can start compressing. WebSurfTools skips the upload entirely and starts work the moment you drop files.
