Best

Maximum compression ratio (slowest processing).

Fastest

Fastest execution with minimal size reduction.

Level0

Alias of NoCompression.

Level1

Alias of Fastest.

Level2

Slightly slower than level 1 with modestly improved compression.

Level3

Slower than level 2 for incremental size savings.

Level4

Balances speed and ratio between levels 3 and 5.

Level5

Provides better compression than level 4 with moderate added cost.

Level6

Alias of Optimal.

Level7

Emphasizes compression ratio over speed compared to level 6.

Level8

Higher ratio than level 7 with additional CPU cost.

Level9

Alias of Best.

NoCompression

Stores data without applying compression (raw copy).

Optimal

Default balance of speed and compression efficiency for general use.
