Higher levels will result in better compression, but will take longer to complete.
For large files that are not easily compressed, a value of 0 is recommended for significantly faster uploads.
## Which versions of the artifacts packages are compatible?
[actions/upload-artifact](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact) and [actions/download-artifact](https://github.com/actions/download-artifact), leverage [GitHub Actions toolkit](https://github.com/actions/toolkit) and are typically used together to upload and download artifacts in your workflows.
| upload-artifact | download-artifact | toolkit |
|---|---|---|
| v4 | v4 | v2 |
| < v3 | < v3 | < v1 |
Use matching versions of `actions/upload-artifact` and `actions/download-artifact` to ensure compatibility.
In your GitHub Actions workflow YAML file, you specify the version of the actions you want to use. For example:
```yaml
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
# ...
uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
# ...
```
