When you store multiple images and/or videos inside of a single PQ file, you'll end up keeping fewer files on your server.
I believe Uber store JPEG data in PQ files and Spotify store audio files in PQ or a similar format on their backend.
I'm not sure what the state of lossless algorithms might be for that though.
It'll also take a hell of a long time to do the compression and decompression. It'd probably be better to do some kind of chunking and deduplication instead of compression itself simply because I don't think you're ever going to have enough ram to store any kind of dictionary that would effectively handle so much data. You'd also not want to have to re-read and reconstruct that dictionary to get at some random image too.
