Show transcript
The compression ratio is the ratio between the size of the original data and the size of the compressed data. A higher compression ratio usually reduces the file size more, but it can slow down performance or lower quality. When selecting compression algorithms data quality and processing speed must be considered. Higher compression ratios often require more processing power and time for both compression and decompression.
