How quality maps to compression
Images
- 90-100: Near lossless, minimal size reduction
- 70-89: Good quality, noticeable size reduction
- 40-69: Decent quality, significant compression
- 1-39: Low quality, maximum compression
Videos (CRF mapping)
- quality 100 → CRF 15 (near lossless)
- quality 80 → CRF 23 (good quality)
- quality 50 → CRF 30 (medium)
- quality 1 → CRF 40 (low quality, small file)
