How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the original file size in bytes in the "Original File Size" field.
  2. Enter the compressed file size in bytes in the "Compressed File Size" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the compression ratio.
  4. The compression ratio will be displayed in the "Compression Ratio" field.

Understanding Compression Ratio

The compression ratio is a measure of how much a file is reduced in size after compression. It is calculated by dividing the original file size by the compressed file size. A higher ratio indicates a more effective compression algorithm.

For example, if the original file size is 1000 bytes and the compressed file size is 500 bytes, the compression ratio would be 2 (1000 / 500 = 2), meaning the file size is halved.
