Alternatives / Image compression CDN
A Tinify CDN alternative that sets itself up
Tinify made image compression famous, and its CDN extends that into delivery with per-gigabyte tiers. If what you want is smaller images on a faster site, both get you there.
CDN.MN is built around a different question: how little work should it take? Keep your origin, point one hostname at it, and every image is converted, resized, compressed and cached at the edge — set up from the dashboard, or by your AI coding agent from one prompt, with production changes waiting for your approval.
Why teams look for a Tinify CDN alternative
Setup is the product
One prompt to your coding agent installs the CDN, rewrites the image URLs in your repo, and stops before anything touches production until you approve. The manual path is the same five steps, in a dashboard.
Bandwidth is not the whole bill
A per-gigabyte race rewards the biggest network. CDN.MN plans bundle delivery, transformations, sites and domains into one understandable unit, with Pay-as-you-go and signup credit to start.
Resize per request, not per upload
Width, height, device pixel ratio and fit are URL parameters, snapped to a list you control so a typo cannot multiply one image into thousands of variants.
Files and sharing, in the same account (early access)
Beyond site images: collections of files with permanent links, then gated sharing for decks and documents, rolling out to early-access members.
CDN.MN vs Tinify CDN
| Aspect | CDN.MN | Tinify CDN |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | One prompt to your AI agent, or five dashboard steps | Dashboard / API integration |
| Origin | Pull-through from your existing origin — no migration | Pull-through from your origin |
| Formats | Automatic AVIF and WebP by request, with the original as fallback | Automatic modern formats |
| Resizing | Per request via URL parameters, snapped to allowed widths | Per request |
| Custom image domain | Soon, on paid plans (secure custom CDN domain) | Yes |
| Pricing model | Plans with included bundles; Pay-as-you-go with signup credit | Tiers by bandwidth |
| Website analyzer | Free, no sign-in: measure what your site could lose | — |
| Files & sharing | Early access — rolling out to programme members: permanent links first, then gated sharing | Not their product |
| Agent / MCP surface | Documented, scoped, with approval for sensitive changes | — |

How the switch works
01
Analyze your site
Paste your URL into the free analyzer to see the image weight you would remove.
02
Install
Tell your agent, or follow the quickstart: verify your domain, get a hostname, rewrite image URLs.
03
Approve production
The DNS change and production delivery wait for a human. Then it is live.
Questions
Do I have to re-upload my images?
No. CDN.MN pulls each image from your verified origin on the first request, optimizes it, and caches the result.
Which is cheaper per gigabyte?
Not the question we try to win. If your cost is dominated by raw bandwidth at large volume, compare the tiers directly; if it is dominated by setup time, variants, and operating another dashboard, CDN.MN is designed to make that cost disappear.
Can my AI coding agent really set it up?
Yes — there is a documented install path (MCP server, an install skill, and a CLI) with least-privilege scopes and a human-approval step for anything that touches production.
