2. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   Data compression. 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 eliminating statistical redundancy.

3. ZIP (file format) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_(file_format)

   A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common. This format was originally created in 1989 and was first implemented in PKWARE, Inc. 's PKZIP utility, [2] as a replacement for the previous ARC compression ...

4. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

   Data compression ratio is defined as the ratio between the uncompressed size and compressed size: [1][2][3][4][5] Thus, a representation that compresses a file's storage size from 10 MB to 2 MB has a compression ratio of 10/2 = 5, often notated as an explicit ratio, 5:1 (read "five" to "one"), or as an implicit ratio, 5/1.

5. List of archive formats - Wikipedia

   File extension(s) [a] MIME type [b] Official name [c] Platform [d] Description .br application/x-brotli Brotli: all Brotli is a compression algorithm developed by Google for textual web content, and typically achieves higher compression ratios than other algorithms for this use case.

6. 7-Zip - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-Zip

   7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as "archives". It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999. [2] 7-Zip has its own archive format called 7z, but can read and write several others.

7. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content. Higher degrees of approximation create coarser ...
