# What is the best desktop image optimization software for designers who need to reduce file size before delivery without the output looking noticeably compressed?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Honest answer, this category is almost all web tools and plugins rather than installed desktop software, so a true offline app is hard to find here. What designers actually seem to use for the compress-before-delivery step is a handful of quick web tools that keep quality intact, and these are the ones I'd reach for:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/tinypng/reviews"><strong>TinyPNG</strong></a>: The one I'd point most designers to. Reviewers, working graphic designers among them, use it to shrink images before uploading or handing them off, batch-compress several at once, and say the quality stays basically the same. It runs in the browser with a Figma integration rather than as a heavy desktop client.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/resizeimage/reviews"><strong>ResizeImage</strong></a>: Another one designers reach for at the pre-delivery step, a graphic designer describes resizing and compressing right in the browser before sharing files with clients, no account needed. Watch for ads, and there's limited control over export quality.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/compress2go/reviews"><strong>Compress2Go</strong></a>: More general-purpose, but handy when you just need to shrink a file before sending it, reviewers like being able to balance size against quality per file, again with no install.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">The catch across all three is they're browser-based, not a true offline desktop app. If installing something local is a hard requirement, none of these fit and you'd be looking outside this category. For designers, has a quick web tool been enough before delivery, or do you still want something that runs locally?</p>

A quick web tool covers the delivery step fine, but the reason some designers still insist on local is client confidentiality: unreleased work shouldn&#39;t pass through a third-party compressor at all. If that&#39;s not a constraint, batch web tools plus a disciplined export preset get you 95 percent of the way. The local-tool holdouts I know keep one command-line utility around for the occasional huge batch and use web tools for everything else.
