Understanding Compression Levels (0–9)
ZIP compression levels range from 0 to 9:
Level 0 (Store) — No compression. Files are packaged as-is. Fastest option, but no size reduction.
Level 1–5 — Progressive compression. Faster than maximum, decent size reduction.
Level 6 — Default balance between speed and compression ratio.
Level 7–9 — Maximum compression. Smallest file sizes but takes longer to process.
Choose level 0 for quick bundling of already-compressed files (like images or videos). Choose level 9 for documents and text files to maximize storage savings.
