recompress
Compact once more
To recompress is to compress something again—typically data that has been decompressed or a file that needs different compression settings: I had to recompress the video at a lower bitrate.
The term appears most often in computing contexts, where files are routinely compressed, extracted, and recompressed for storage or transfer.
