API Credentials for TinyPNG

Guide to obtaining tokens, keys, and connections.

To use the TinyPNG (Tinify) API you need just one piece of information: the "API Key." Below you’ll find simple, step‑by‑step instructions on how to sign up and obtain your API Key.

API Key

  1. 1

    Open your browser and go to TinyPNG’s developer page: https://tinify.com/developers. You’ll see a form titled "Get your API key."

  2. 2

    Fill in the "Name" and "Email Address" fields with your name and a valid email. Click the "Create API key" button. No credit card or payment details are required.

  3. 3

    Check your inbox. You’ll receive an email from TinyPNG (sender: support@tinify.com). Click the "Visit your dashboard" button inside the message.

  4. 4

    The link will take you to the Tinify Dashboard. Copy the alphanumeric string shown under the "API Key" heading; that string is your personal key.

  5. 5

    Store the key in a safe place.
