2. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 digital data.

3. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   This can be avoided by only producing lossy files from (lossless) originals and only editing (copies of) original files, such as images in raw image format instead of JPEG. If data which has been compressed lossily is decoded and compressed losslessly, the size of the result can be comparable with the size of the data before lossy compression ...

4. JPEGmini - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEGmini

   [5] [6] This technology is integrated into JPEGmini Pro allowing users to reduce the file size of their photos and videos with limited quality reduction. JPEGmini technology is built around a perceptually aligned image quality measure, which reliably determines the maximum amount of compression which can be applied to each individual image or ...

5. Image file format - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_file_format

   The size of raster image files is positively correlated with the number of pixels in the image and the color depth (bits per pixel). Images can be compressed in various ways, however. A compression algorithm stores either an exact representation or an approximation of the original image in a smaller number of bytes that can be expanded back to ...

6. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   DCT is the basis for JPEG, a lossy compression format which was introduced by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) in 1992. [35] JPEG greatly reduces the amount of data required to represent an image at the cost of a relatively small reduction in image quality and has become the most widely used image file format.

7. Wikipedia : Featured picture criteria/Image size

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Image_size

   Compression of an image to reduce file size (in Kb) is usually "lossy" and is not advised for featured pictures. Image compression will reduce download times and save disk space, but it does so at the expense of fine detail and overall image quality. If in doubt, when saving JPEG files, always select the "maximum" quality setting.

8. Quantization (image processing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_(image...

   When the number of discrete symbols in a given stream is reduced, the stream becomes more compressible. For example, reducing the number of colors required to represent a digital image makes it possible to reduce its file size. Specific applications include DCT data quantization in JPEG and DWT data quantization in JPEG 2000.

9. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   In fact, if we consider files of length N, if all files were equally probable, then for any lossless compression that reduces the size of some file, the expected length of a compressed file (averaged over all possible files of length N) must necessarily be greater than N. [citation needed] So if we know nothing about the properties of the data ...
