Cloudpak Image Data
Cloudpak stores image data in a compressed format. You are charged for only the compressed data that remains on our servers. Typically, our compression ratios range from 2.5 times to 15 times the "raw" image size. What this means is that a 2GB "Free" account may actually have uploaded 5-30GB of image data.
About Cloudpak Compression
Cloudpak compresses image data to any one of three different levels; Highest, High, and Standard. Highest quality compression is lossless compression, meaning that absolutely no image data is altered by the compression. High quality Cloudpak compression is roughly twice as good as high quality (85) JPEG compression. This is because Cloudpak uses the state of the art JPEG2000 compression codecs instead of the older JPEG codecs. Customers will find that High quality compression is visually undetectable and has a compression ratio of 10:1. Standard Cloudpak compression will have some small compression artifacts that can be seen at 100%, but the compression ratio is around 15:1.
