The TinyPNG WordPress plugin uses the Developer API, so the same pricing applies. When you sign up for the plugin, you'll start with the free plan, which gives you 500 free optimizations per month. If you need to compress more images, you can easily upgrade to the pay-per-compression plan through your account dashboard.
For large businesses and corporations, we offer subscription plans with fixed fees, a fair usage policy, priority support, and the option to pay yearly via bank transfer. We’ll help you choose the right plan based on your needs. If you have a large batch of images to compress, just let us know, and we can see how we can help. If you're interested or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Automatically convert, resize, and compress images using our powerful API. Seamlessly integrate it into your workflow.
For the pay-per-compression Developer API, we accept payments via credit card and PayPal.
For the credit bundles, we also accept WeChat Pay and AliPay for Chinese users, as well as iDEAL for Dutch users.
To start using the Developer API, enter your name and email address on the product page to generate an API key.
After registration, you'll receive an activation email. Click the link in the email to access your API dashboard, where your API key is available.
To remove the 500-compression limit, upgrade your Developer API account from your Tinify account dashboard. Make sure you are logged in on the Tinify website. Once you have upgraded your subscription, the compression limit will be removed automatically.If you don’t need a monthly subscription, you can also purchase credit bundles. Credit bundles allow you to add additional compressions to your account without upgrading to a recurring plan.
Each calendar month, you get 500 free image compressions. If you need more, you can switch to the pay-per-compression plan.
As a paid user, you'll be billed for your total monthly API usage. An invoice is generated at the start of the next month, and payment is automatically processed using your linked payment method.
If you compress 5000 images this month, you’ll be charged for 4500 compressions (since the first 500 are free). If you compress only 200 images next month, you won’t be charged since it falls within the free 500 limit.
Credit bundles allow you to purchase a fixed amount of image compression and conversion credits upfront, without committing to a monthly subscription. You can choose from bundles of 1000, 2500, or 5000 credits.Once purchased, the credits are added to your Developer API account and are automatically used when you exceed the 500 free compressions included each calendar month. The 500 free compressions reset every month, while credit bundles do not expire and remain available until they are used.For example, if you purchase a 2500-credit bundle and compress 1000 images, 2000 credits will remain available for future use (since the first 500 are free). Credit bundles do not renew automatically and can be used whenever you need extra compressions.
Once you reach the compression limit, the API will return the error message: Your monthly limit has been exceeded.You can either wait for the next calendar month when your free 500 compressions reset, or upgrade your account.We offer two upgrade options:1. Pay-per-compression: billed monthly based on your API usage.2. Credit bundle: purchase deductible compression credits upfront to use whenever you need them.
Unused free compressions do not roll over to the next month. At the start of the new calendar month, your usage resets, and the first 500 compressions are free.
No, you don’t have to keep paying for previously compressed images. Tinify only charges when images are compressed.If you use the pay-per-compression plan, you are billed monthly based on your API usage. If you use credit bundles, credits are simply deducted each time an image is compressed.
Tinify works on a monthly subscription basis. You'll get billed at the beginning of the following calendar month based on your usage. If you go over the 500 free compressions, you'll have to pay for the extra compressions.Invoices are created, and payments are handled on the 2nd of the following month. You can update your payment details in your API dashboard.If you use credit bundles, you are not billed monthly. Instead, you pay upfront when you purchase a bundle, and credits are deducted from your balance as you compress images.
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your API dashboard. Once canceled, your account will return to the 500 free compressions per month limit.If you have already exceeded 500 compressions before canceling, you will still be billed for the additional compressions used.If you have purchased credit bundles, any unused credits will not be refunded. However, they do not expire, so you can continue using them whenever you need additional compressions.
