These two are barely competing
iLoveIMG is a suite: crop thirty photos, watermark them, convert to JPG, then merge a PDF. If that is the afternoon you are having, use it — this page does exactly one thing and would leave you with the rest of the list still to do. Its free tier is also generous by the standards of server-side tools: 30 images or 200 MB in a single task, against TinyPNG's 20 images at 5 MB each.
The overlap is the single narrow job: make these images smaller. And in that job the upload is dead weight. It costs you a round trip on a slow connection, it puts a copy of your files on someone else's disk for two hours, and it imposes a per-task count that exists only because the CPU on the other end is not yours.
What "deleted within two hours" means
It means the policy says so. You cannot check it from outside, and it is the kind of statement that is true until an incident makes it interesting. Compressing in the tab sidesteps the question: there is no copy to delete, because there was never a copy. Open the network panel while a file is being processed and the only requests are the ones that loaded the page.
What you give up is the rest of their toolbox, and any file above 40 megapixels — the browser's memory ceiling.
