Data compression, often shortened to compression, involves reducing the size of data. This is commonly done to save storage space or reduce transmission time when sending data over a network. Compression algorithms work by identifying and eliminating redundancy in the data. Common applications include compressing files for archiving or sharing, compressing images and videos for storage and streaming, and compressing network traffic to improve performance. There are two main types of compression: lossless compression, which allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed, and lossy compression, which sacrifices some data to achieve higher compression ratios.
