recompressed
Made compact twice
Recompressed describes something that has been compressed again, typically after being decompressed or expanded.
The term appears most often in technical contexts—audio, video, or image files that have been compressed, edited or extracted, then compressed once more: The recompressed video lost quality.
Data that undergoes multiple compression cycles often degrades, making recompressed files inferior to originals.
