# brotli

> Compress/uncompress files with Brotli compression.
> More information: <https://manned.org/brotli>.

- Compress a file, creating a compressed version next to the file:

`brotli {{path/to/file}}`

- Decompress a file, creating an uncompressed version next to the file:

`brotli {{[-d|--decompress]}} {{path/to/file.br}}`

- Compress a file specifying the output filename:

`brotli {{path/to/file}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/compressed_output_file.br}}`

- Decompress a Brotli file specifying the output filename:

`brotli {{[-d|--decompress]}} {{path/to/compressed_file.br}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/output_file}}`

- Specify the compression quality (1=fastest (worst), 11=slowest (best)):

`brotli {{[-q|--quality]}} {{11}} {{path/to/file}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/compressed_output_file.br}}`
