Squoosh is the gold standard of honest online utilities: uploading 0 bytes to any server, its local WebAssembly engine compresses our 4.24 MB 2048×2048 anchor image down to 278.8 KB (-93.26%) in 0.85s while maintaining PSNR=37.13 dB and SSIM=0.9973 (02_workspace.png).

[2] Monthly reset, no rollover

Confirmed 75 package and 73 monthly subscription capacities; subscriptions start at 1,000 credits. The table says 10 free credits/day while the footer says 10 conversions/day; this conflict does not establish 10 PDFs. PDF-to-Office has a 4-credit base and longer processing incurs more, replacing the historical mixed minutes/count description.

Cancellation, sources & verification record

Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled anytime without a minimum term; remaining credits expire when changing subscriptions. Optional package auto-refill must be enabled separately.

The online web compressor is free without login for files ≤10 MB (login removes the 10 MB limit; free plan includes 100 credits/month).

The Unlimited Yearly cards display only monthly equivalents (USD 8.33/month and USD 13.33/month, "Saving $31.98 / year") without printing the annual invoice total on the card, so the annual totals are kept unverified.

Fixture findings

Local compression reduced this fixture by about 86%; export changes to JPG or WebP, not PNG.

Original historical observation

CompressNow is a fast, 100% client-side compressor: your image never leaves your browser, and in 0.9s it shrinks our 4.24 MB benchmark PNG to 579.8 KB (-85.99%, 7.14×) at 42.34 dB PSNR (02_workspace.png). Note that it only outputs JPG or WebP (disclosed upfront), so users with transparent PNGs should select the WebP toggle.

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Users who want to rapidly shrink bulky PNG screenshots or photos locally in-browser into high-quality JPG or WebP (-86% size) without uploading files to any server

Fixture findings

Default PNG preserved quality but reduced this fixture by only about 10%; other export formats are available.

Original historical observation

At its default Quality = 90% setting while keeping PNG format, TinyWow applies conservative quantization that preserves near-lossless pixel fidelity (PSNR 48.20 dB, SSIM 0.9996) with a modest -9.52% byte reduction; switching the output dropdown to .webp or .avif yields much larger savings.

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Users wanting free no-login near-lossless PNG optimization (48.20 dB PSNR) or one-click conversion to WebP/AVIF/JXL

Fixture findings

Strong size reduction suits upload limits; gradients show banding and download ads need care.

Original historical observation

11zon offers a very handy dual-tab interface ('Slider' by % and 'Size' by target KB), shrinking our 4.14 MB PNG down to 842 KB (-79.65%) in 1.8s at its default 60% level; however, the aggressive palette cut causes visible gradient banding (PSNR=32.83 dB) and users must dodge 3 green 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' fake ad buttons (02_workspace.png).

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Users facing strict government or academic portal upload limits (e.g., forcing a large PNG under 1 MB or an exact KB target) who can tolerate mild background gradient banding

Default settings increased this PNG's size; downloading also required login.

Original historical observation

Fotor's Image Compressor exposed two major flaws in real-machine testing: first, its default 'Format: Original / Image Quality: Medium' mode has no PNG palette quantizer, causing our 4.0 MB PNG to balloon to 5.7 MB (`↑ 42.3%` in red on Fotor's own card, 02_workspace.png); second, clicking Download immediately hits a mandatory login wall (03_download.png).

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Only usable for signed-in Fotor users compressing JPEGs (or converting PNGs to JPG/WebP); completely unsuitable for native PNG compression

Seven-aspect task score

The interface avoids ad interruptions, but free files are capped at 1MB and many features need Pro; this fixture was rejected, so compression quality was not tested.

Measured fixture results

File reduction: 0% · Output size: 4137.9 KB

Fixture findings

The roughly 4MB fixture exceeded the recorded 1MB free limit; free compression could not complete.

Original historical observation

Kraken.io's free Web Interface remains stuck in a decade-old '1 MB max file size' quota (01_landing.png): when fed our 4,137.9 KB (2048×2048) benchmark PNG, the queue immediately rejects it with 'File size too large. Upgrade to PRO and get 32MB max file size.' (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png).

Suitable uses · historical assessment

Only usable for tiny web icons/thumbnails already under 1 MB, or enterprise developers with a paid Kraken.io PRO API subscription

Result & output evidence

No native output obtained; the preview does not establish final export quality.
