Compressify vs PDF Candy

Compressify is a file-compression service for images and PDFs, available on the web, Android, iOS, and as an extension. It supports batch processing and image resizing, with listed formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP, HEIC, GIF, BMP, and TIFF. Compressify says it can reduce JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP, and PDF files by up to 90%. The image compressor handles JPEG, PNG, and WebP and analyzes each image to choose an encoding strategy. PDF compression needs no settings, supports batches, and is free five times a day. A Figma plugin bulk-compresses exports and can merge selected frames into one PDF. A WordPress plugin compresses new uploads, bulk-optimizes existing media, and optionally converts to WebP; routine processing runs through WordPress image editors locally. Free costs nothing, billed Free Forever, with 60 Image Exports per month and limited features. Pro costs $4.99 a month.
