The "trick" that allows lossless compression algorithms, used on the type of data they were designed for, to consistently compress such files to a shorter form is that the files the algorithms are designed to act on all have some form of easily modeled redundancy that the algorithm is designed to remove, and thus belong to the subset of files ...
A compression format that featured PAQ8PX v42 to v65 and that now can use PAQ8PF, PAQ8KX, or PAQ8PXPRE as the default UCA Compressor. In addition, PerfectCompress can compress files to PAQ8PX v42 to v67, and ZPAQ, and as of version 6.0, can compress files to LPAQ and PAQ8PF beta 1 to beta 3.
Even binary data files can be compressed with this method; file format specifications often dictate repeated bytes in files as padding space. However, newer compression methods such as DEFLATE often use LZ77-based algorithms, a generalization of run-length encoding that can take advantage of runs of strings of characters (such as BWWBWWBWWBWW).
Algorithm developed by Yann Collet, designed for very high (de)compression speeds. It is an LZ77 derivative, without entropy encoding. .lzma application/x-lzma lzma: Unix-like The LZMA compression algorithm as used by 7-Zip. .lzo application/x-lzop lzop: Unix-like An implementation of the LZO data compression algorithm. .rz rzip: Unix-like
Genetics compression algorithms are the latest generation of lossless algorithms that compress data (typically sequences of nucleotides) using both conventional compression algorithms and genetic algorithms adapted to the specific datatype. In 2012, a team of scientists from Johns Hopkins University published a genetic compression algorithm ...
bzip2 is a free and open-source file compression program that uses the Burrows–Wheeler algorithm. It only compresses single files and is not a file archiver. It relies on separate external utilities for tasks such as handling multiple files, encryption, and archive-splitting. bzip2 was initially released in 1996 by Julian Seward.

Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) is a universal lossless data compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch.It was published by Welch in 1984 as an improved implementation of the LZ78 algorithm published by Lempel and Ziv in 1978.
