Show HN: TinyCompressor – Free, Privacy-First Image/Video/PDF Compression Tool

https://tinycompressor.com
2•arvin2025•2mo ago
I've built TinyCompressor, a modern web-based compression and conversion tool that processes everything locally in your browser. No uploads, no server storage, completely free.

What it does: - Image Compression: PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP – reduce file sizes by up to 90% while maintaining quality - Format Conversion: Convert between formats including HEIC→JPG, PNG↔JPEG, WebP↔AVIF, and more - PDF Compression: Reduce PDF sizes by up to 60% with image compression and metadata removal - Video Compression: Compress MP4, AVI, MOV, WebM using FFmpeg.wasm (up to 85% reduction)

Key features: 100% Client-Side Processing – All compression happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device. Completely Free – No registration, no limits, no hidden costs. Forever. Fast – Optimized algorithms powered by Squoosh and FFmpeg.wasm for sub-second processing Privacy-First – Zero server-side storage. We literally can't see your files. Multilingual – Available in 11 languages (EN, ZH, JA, KO, AR, DE, ES, FR, IT, PT, RU) Mobile-Optimized – Responsive design that works great on all devices

Tech stack: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Squoosh (Google's WebAssembly compressor), FFmpeg.wasm, Tailwind CSS

Why I built this: I was frustrated with existing compression tools that required uploads (privacy concerns), had file size limits, or didn't support modern formats like AVIF/HEIC. So I built TinyCompressor to solve all of these – completely client-side, free forever, modern UI, and support for all major formats.

Technical highlights: Web Workers for non-blocking compression, Progressive Web App capabilities, performance optimizations, WCAG compliant accessibility, SEO optimized with dynamic sitemap generation.

Try it out: Visit https://tinycompressor.com and drag & drop your files. No signup required.

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially on performance across different devices/browsers, any bugs or edge cases, and feature requests.

The GitHub link just links to the site itself?

didn't provider GitHub, it is tool website for free using

Having to select an image compressor based on format seems like a redundant step.. Can the service not just automatically recognise the file format?

Can you explain more about how the image gets compressed on the client side?

Edit: I just tried it with a small png image (49kb), the site told me that it had compressed it down to 28.75kb. I downloaded the compressed version and it is 49kb..

thanks for your suggesstion and feedback, the issue was resloved.
