Compression Flashcards

The process of reducing the size of a file to save storage space or reduce transmission time.

To reduce file size, save storage space, and speed up data transfer.

A method of compression that removes some data permanently to reduce file size.

A method of compression that reduces file size without losing any data, allowing the original file to be restored.

Smaller file sizes, faster transfer speeds, and suitable for images, audio, and video where perfect accuracy is not required.

Data is permanently lost, and quality may be reduced, especially after repeated compression.

No data is lost, and the original file can be restored perfectly. Suitable for text and data files.

File sizes are larger compared to lossy compression, and it may not be as effective for multimedia files.

JPEG for images, MP3 for audio, and MP4 for video.

ZIP files and PNG images.
