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.
Three types of pictures (or frames) are used in video compression: I, P, and B frames.. An I‑frame (intra-coded picture) is a complete image, like a JPG or BMP image file.. A P‑frame (Predicted picture) holds only the changes in the image from a previous frame.
Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:
Due to typical file system design, the amount of space allocated for a file is usually larger than the size of the file's data – resulting in a relatively small amount of storage space for each file, called slack space or internal fragmentation, that is not available for other files but is not used for data in the file to which it belongs.
MB can also mean "megabyte" as a data measurement—used in a different setting than social media or a casual text exchange. Also, some people use MB to represent "maybe" as well. Related: Huh?
WebP's lossy compression algorithm is based on the intra-frame coding of the VP8 video format [24] and the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) as a container format. [4] As such, it is a block-based transformation scheme with eight bits of color depth and a luminance–chrominance model with chroma subsampling by a ratio of 1:2 ( YCbCr 4:2: ...
Twitter owner says new limits imposed to address ‘extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation’
In the context of computing, the metric prefixes are often intended to mean something other than their normal meaning. For example, 'kilobyte' often refers to 1024 bytes even though the standard meaning of kilo is 1000. Also, 'mega' normally means one million, but in computing is often used to mean 2 20 = 1 048 576. The table below illustrates ...
