What is your COG compression algorithm of choice?

I read once that you can be the ripest, juciest, sweetest peach in the world but there’s always a person who simply does not like peaches. :peach:

There are several algorithms that can compress (CO)GeoTIFFs and it is relatively straightforward to assess each of them from a technical perspective – there are tons of reports and papers out there. The one thing I’m struggling to figure out, however, is what people actually prefer working with, so I created this poll for the Pangeo community.

To keep things simple, I did not include configuration levels but please feel free to share your preference as an answer. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve included lossy compressions such as JPEG out of sheer curiosity.

Which is the COG compression algorithm you prefer to work with?
  • ZSTD
  • LZW
  • DEFLATE
  • LZMA
  • LERC
  • LERC_DEFLATE
  • LERC_ZSTD
  • JXL
  • JPEG
  • WEBP
  • RAW (I don’t like compressed GeoTIFFs)
