What is image compression?
How does it work?
Image compression
• is a process applied to a graphics file to minimize its size in
bytes without degrading image quality below an acceptable
threshold. By reducing the file size, more images can be stored
in a given amount of disk or memory space. The image also
requires less bandwidth when being transmitted over the
internet or downloaded from a webpage, reducing network
congestion and speeding up content delivery.
What are the two types of image compression?
• The methods used to compress image files typically fall into one of two
categories: lossy and lossless. Lossy compression reduces an image file
size by permanently removing less critical information, particularly
redundant data. Lossy compression can significantly reduce file size, but it
can also reduce image quality to the point of distortion, especially if the
image is overly compressed. However, quality can be maintained when
compression is carefully applied.
What are the two types of image
compression?
• One of the challenges with lossy compression is that it's irreversible. Once
it has been applied to an image, that image can never be restored to its
original state. If lossy compression is applied repeatedly to the same image,
it gets increasingly distorted. That said, lossy compression has proved to be
a valuable strategy for the web, where a moderate amount of image
degradation can often be tolerated.
• The most common example of lossy compression is JPEG, an image
compression format used extensively on the web and in digital photography.
This widely recognized format is supported by numerous tools and
applications. Additionally, compression can be applied in degrees, making it
possible to use JPEG compression that best strikes a balance between file
size and quality.
• The other approach to image compression is referred to as
lossless. This method applies compression without removing
critical data or reducing image quality and results in a
compressed image that can be restored to its original state with
no degradation or distortion.
• However, lossless compression doesn't reduce the file size
nearly as much as lossy compression, offering little advantage
in terms of storage space, network bandwidth or download
speeds.
• Lossless compression is generally used in situations where
image quality is more important than disk space or network
performance, such as for product images or to showcase
artwork.
• One of the most common lossless formats is PNG, a widely
used format that reduces file size by identifying patterns and
compressing those patterns together. Although PNG files are
generally larger than JPEG files, websites use them extensively
when more image detail is needed, such as for logos, icons,
screenshots or images with text. Another familiar lossless
format is BMP, a proprietary approach to image compression
introduced by Microsoft and used primarily for Microsoft
products, particularly Windows computers.
• GIF is compression format that falls into the lossless category,
although there is some confusion as to whether it is lossy or
lossless.
• GIF images are limited to 256 colors, so converting an image
with more colors to GIF results in a loss of quality, which is
sometimes attributed to lossy compression. But the
compression algorithms used by GIF are lossless.
• If quality is lost, it's due to issues related to converting the file.
Currently, the GIF format is used primarily for simple videos and
animations.
