The TinyPNG on Upload module will send all uploaded PNG's and JPG's to the TinyPNG optimization service using the TinyPNG file api. TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your image files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the image, fewer bytes are required to store the data. The effect is nearly invisible but it makes a HUGE difference in file size! By optimizing an image at upload time, all derivative images will already be optimized making for a much lighter image footprint.

Note: we specifically only target declared 'image' field types across the site content fields.
