# zstd
> Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression.
> Homepage: <https://github.com/facebook/zstd>.
- Compress a file into a new file with the .zst suffix:
`zstd {{file}}`
- Decompress a file:
`zstd -d {{file}}.zst`
- Decompress to stdout:
`zstd -dc {{file}}.zst`
- Compress a file, while specifing the compression level. 0 = Worst, 19 = Best (Default level is 3):
`zstd -{{level}} {{file}}`
- Use more memory (both when compressing and decompressing) to achieve a higher compression ratio:
`zstd --ultra -{{level}} {{file}}`
