TotImages
TotImages as an alternative to iLoveIMG and TinyPNG
The main difference is where the image is processed. TotImages works in your browser and does not upload your photos. iLoveIMG and TinyPNG process files on their servers and delete them after a set time.
Key facts
- Where images are processed: TotImages: on your device. iLoveIMG and TinyPNG: on their servers
- After processing: TotImages: nothing is stored because nothing is uploaded. iLoveIMG: files deleted within 2 hours. TinyPNG: transient storage for processing
- Account: TotImages: none needed. TinyPNG: free without account within limits; iLoveIMG: free with limits, Premium removes them
- Daily limit: TotImages: none. TinyPNG free: up to 20 images at once, 5 MB each; iLoveIMG free: task and size limits
- Not in TotImages: AI upscaling, background removal and keeping metadata or animations
The short answer
Pick TotImages when the photos are private and you need a standard image job: convert between HEIC, AVIF, WebP, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP and SVG, resize, or print at an exact size. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no server copy to worry about.
Pick a server-based service such as iLoveIMG or TinyPNG when you need things TotImages does not do, like AI upscaling, background removal or a developer API.
What the other services say about your files
iLoveIMG says it automatically deletes files from your content within two hours of processing them on its servers (iLoveIMG terms, www.iloveimg.com/help/terms, and security page, www.iloveimg.com/help/security). TinyPNG says free users can upload up to 20 images at once of at most 5 MB each, that format conversion is free for up to 3 images, and that Web Pro and Web Ultra subscriptions lift the limits (TinyPNG FAQ, tinypng.com/). iLoveIMG sells a Premium plan from 5 dollars a month billed annually (www.iloveimg.com/pricing). All pages were read in October 2026 and can change, so check the current terms.
That means the file does travel to a server first. With TotImages it does not: the work happens in your browser and the image is not sent anywhere.
Where TotImages is the better fit
You do not need an account, a daily quota or a payment plan. You can convert or resize one batch after another, with the device memory as the only practical limit: up to 5,000 files per ZIP and 256 MB per extracted file. The tools are in Catalan, Spanish and English, and the site has no analytics, ads or trackers.
The print tools are unusual for a free site: actual size with a 50 mm check line, the classic 10 × 15 cm photo, A3 tiled over two A4 sheets and multi-page posters with overlap and cutting guides, all as PDFs made on your device.
Where the others are the better fit
TotImages has no AI upscaling and no background removal, and it does not keep metadata, HDR or animations. iLoveIMG offers more editing tools such as crop, watermark and upscale, plus mobile and desktop apps and an API. TinyPNG offers a developer API, a CDN and a WordPress plugin.
Very large images depend on the memory of your device, because everything runs locally.

Is TotImages more private than iLoveIMG or TinyPNG?
TotImages does not upload your images, because it processes them in your browser. iLoveIMG and TinyPNG send them to their servers and delete them after a stated time.
Does TotImages have a daily limit like other free converters?
No. There is no daily limit, no account and no payment plan. The practical limit is the memory of your device.
