Data compression involves the process of encoding information using fewer bits or other information-bearing units than an unencoded representation would use through different compression algorithms.
Data compression is a technology that reduces the size of a computer file, which is especially crucial for files used on Web pages, like graphics and sound files. Compression methods are categorized as lossless or lossy.
GIF is a data compression format used for transferring graphic images, primarily on the Internet. This format was initially created by CompuServe and is known for its .gif file extension.
Redundancy refers to the intentional or unintentional repetition of computer data or the engineering support of a system's weakness. This practice enhances reliability and safety in various systems by providing backup or fail-safes.
