Images seem to be compressed

[rohansaw]

My original dataset is 24GB in size. However, after running sahi coco slice with --slice_size 512 and --overlap_ratio 0.25, the resulting directory is 8.7GB in size. Is this behavior intended from the slicing script?

@rohansaw you check if the file format is the same?

Hey @rohansaw, you can set the extension type as png for higher quality slice images
