2. JPEG - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG

   JPEG (/ ˈdʒeɪpɛɡ / JAY-peg, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group) [2] is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

3. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   Lossless compression. Lossless compression is a class of data compression that allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data with no loss of information. Lossless compression is possible because most real-world data exhibits statistical redundancy. [1] By contrast, lossy compression permits reconstruction only ...

4. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

   This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible. However, some file signatures can be ...

5. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   Image compression. Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other ...

6. DjVu - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DjVu

   The DjVu developers report that color magazine pages compress to 40–70 kB, black-and-white technical papers compress to 15–40 kB, and ancient manuscripts compress to around 100 kB; a satisfactory JPEG image typically requires 500 kB. [4] Like PDF, DjVu can contain an OCR text layer, making it easy to perform copy and paste and text search ...

7. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   For the term in computer programming, see Source code. In information theory, data compression, source coding, [ 1 ] or bit-rate reduction is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original representation. [ 2 ] Any particular compression is either lossy or lossless. Lossless compression reduces bits by identifying and ...
