  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. pngcrush - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngcrush

    The main use of pngcrush is for reducing the size of the image data contained in the IDAT section. The pixel data in a PNG file is compressed using LZ77 algorithm (which tries to find repeated byte sequences in the source data), and then further compressed with Huffman algorithm.

  6. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    While data reduction (compression, be it lossy or lossless) is a main goal of transform coding, it also allows other goals: one may represent data more accurately for the original amount of space [5] – for example, in principle, if one starts with an analog or high-resolution digital master, an MP3 file of a given size should provide a better ...

    One of the simpler ways of increasing the size, replacing every pixel with a number of pixels of the same color. The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest ...

  8. Binary image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_image

    A binary image of 640×480 pixels has a file size of only 37.5 KiB, and most also compress well with simple run-length compression. A binary image format is often used in contexts where it is important to have a small file size for transmission or storage, or due to color limitations on displays or printers.

  9. Image conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_conversion

    Like any resampling operation, changing image size and bit depth are lossy in all cases of downsampling, such as 30-bit to 24-bit or 24-bit to 8-bit palette-based images. While increasing bit depth is usually lossless, increasing image size can introduce aliasing or other undesired artifacts.
