Kraken.io

Kraken.io is a fiercely powerful, highly technical, and massively respected image optimization platform that explicitly targets the "Hardcore Web Developer and Enterprise SaaS" market. While TinyPNG is highly consumer-friendly, Kraken is built for absolute speed, scale, and granular control, often used as the invisible backend compression engine for massive software platforms. The absolute core differentiator of Kraken.io is its "Microsecond Processing Speed and Granular API Control." Kraken allows a developer to dictate exactly how an image is processed via API. They can send a massive 10MB raw image to Kraken, and in milliseconds, Kraken can compress it (lossless or lossy), strip out all EXIF metadata (camera data/GPS), resize it to a specific thumbnail dimension, and push it directly to an Amazon S3 bucket. Because of its staggering API reliability, ability to handle massive bulk operations, and deep integrations with Magento and WordPress, it is heavily utilized by massive e-commerce storefronts, digital asset management platforms, and SaaS companies that process millions of user-uploaded images daily.
