I am trying to upload a raster in GEE with ZSTD compression and it fails. Anybody knows why?

I have a small raster viirs_bin_090.tif and did gdal_translate viirs_bin_090.tif viirs_bin_090_ztsd.tif -co COMPRESS=ZSTD. The one with default compression (deflate) was uploaded and the other failed (see image below)

enter image description here

I checked with gdalinfo and confirmed that the compression was applied.

Now I am trying to upload it to GEE but got an upload error but there is no details as to why.

  • Probably Google are using an older GDAL without ZSTD support or an external libtiff not built against ZSTD in their GEE stack, but I don't know if / doubt that they publish those sort of details about their infrastructure. Workaround by using a different compression.

The libtiff and GDAL configs within Google have DEFLATE and LZW. As of November 2021, LERC, WEBP, and ZSTD are not enabled. You can do something like this for compression:

-co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co ZLEVEL=9

You can also specify a PREDICTOR, which may help. See here for more details on setting the PREDICTOR:
