| Pricing transparency | 35 / 35 100% free with no account registration, paywalls, or file-count caps; the landing page and workspace clearly disclose upfront that PNG inputs are converted to WebP for maximum compression (Format: PNG → WebP). Dropping our 4,137.9 KB (2048×2048) anchor PNG immediately enabled a free 276.0 KB download (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | 32.5 / 35 Free tier supports generous multi-file batch uploads without login or tight 5 MB per-file walls; after clicking 'Compress IMAGES', it displays 'Images are now 59% smaller!' and automatically triggers download (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). |
| Interaction restraint | 29 / 30 Zero registration prompts, ad overlays, or deceptive redirects; dropping an image immediately displays original size, compressed size, reduction percentage, and a direct download button. | 27.5 / 30 Zero registration gates or paywall traps; results download automatically and include a one-click server delete button. |

| Task quality | 59.5 / 65 In default Balanced mode, compresses the 4,137.9 KB (2048×2048) PNG anchor to a 276.0 KB WebP (-93.33%, 14.99× ratio) while achieving PSNR = 37.75 dB and SSIM = 0.9977 (59.5/65) | 58 / 65 Reduces the 4,137.9 KB 2048×2048 PNG to 1,695.6 KB (-59.02%, 2.44× ratio) while maintaining native PNG format, PSNR = 34.64 dB, and SSIM = 0.9953 (56.5/65) |
| Deliverable specifications | 17 / 20 Preserves 100% of the 2048×2048 pixel resolution with zero watermarks or login walls and supports multi-file ZIP export; 3 points deducted because PNG inputs are converted to WebP (explicitly disclosed as Format: PNG → WebP) rather than preserving a native PNG container (17.0/20) | 20 / 20 Exports a watermark-free 2048×2048 PNG without login and supports larger single files than 5 MB-capped tools (19.5/20) |
