recompressing
Shrinking files anew
Recompressing is compressing something again, typically data or files that have been decompressed or that need tighter compression: After editing the video, I spent hours recompressing it for upload.
The term applies to any repeated compression—air in tanks, gases in engines, or digital media being re-encoded at different quality settings.
