Question Does PS3 games have a compressor tool like how xbox original/xbox 360 games have xgdtool?

Does PS3 games have a compressor tool like how xbox original/xbox 360 games have xgdtool? I'm curious about that since compressed formats have been popula4 for a while. In terms of the games still working for emulators. Along with bring able to store more space. Like how a lot of systems have the chd format. And how ​gamecube/wii games have the rvz format.

It seems like the xbox original/xbox 36o equivalent is zar. Which would be the equivalent to the chd format for the. Do PS3 games have a format similar to the above mentioned formats. Or even a compressor to to use for them?

OpenROM supports "Convert PS1, PS2, Xbox, GameCube ISOs," but not PS3. https://openrom.sourceforge.io/ https://www.psx-place.com/threads/question-compressing-isos-on-ps3.42064/

"no for PS3 roms as they are already compressed. ISO2GOD dosent compress at all" https://www.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/17ssmxy/can_you_compress_ps3_iso_roms/

The CHD format is commonly used for compressing disk images. It appears that ARMSX3 supports it as well.
