When I built ZeroPNG, it was one tool: compress a image. Drop it in, get a smaller file. That was it.

Over the past few months I kept adding "just one more tool" - and quietly ZeroPNG became something different. Today it has 12 tools, all running entirely in the browser with zero uploads:

• Image Compressor - PNG, JPG, WebP, AVIF up to 90% smaller

• Image Converter - convert between any format

• HEIC Converter - iPhone photos JPG/PNG, instantly

• Image Resizer - batch resize with aspect ratio lock

• Crop & Resize - freehand or fixed-ratio crop

• Remove EXIF Data - strip location, device info, metadata

• Watermark - single image watermarking

• Bulk Watermark - stamp your brand across a whole batch

• Image to Base64 - encode images for embedding in code

• SVG Converter - SVG to raster formats

• Images to PDF - bundle images into a single PDF

• Web Image Analyzer - audit your images for web performance

When we first launched, the focus was purely on functionality, get the tools working, make them fast, keep files off our servers. Design was... secondary.

That changes today. We've redesigned zeropng from the ground up with a cleaner UI, better visual hierarchy, and a look that actually matches the quality of what's under the hood.

What's new:

Cleaner tool cards and homepage layout

Most online compression tools work on Server-Side processing. This means:

1. You upload your image to their server

2. Their backend processes it

3. They send the optimized version back

4. Your file may stay on their infrastructure (temporarily or longer)

But technically speaking:

• Your file leaves your machine

• It touches someone else s server

• It may be logged, cached, or stored

• You usually don t see what happens behind the scenes
