There are two methods of achieving this; Lossless and Lossy. It reduces the bits or bit-rate which involves encoding information using fewer bits.]]> 2017-09-28 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chrislewisclark1999/pszh4qph3clg/wish/192051924 redpeg https://padlet.com/chrislewisclark1999/pszh4qph3clg/wish/192054413 Lossless compression is the reduction of file size with no loss of quality. with this type of compression, it allows the file to be broken up into smaller 'chunks' for storage and then put back together again on the other end.]]> 2017-09-28 13:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chrislewisclark1999/pszh4qph3clg/wish/192054413 chrislewisclark1999 https://padlet.com/chrislewisclark1999/pszh4qph3clg/wish/192056517 Compression is necessary for many reasons. For example if you want to send a file to someone, there may be a limit to the file size you can upload. To overcome this you can compress the file so that it is below the limit. Another reason is that it is convenient to handle smaller file sizes, as it is faster to process thus saving time. It is also useful as it saves storage space on a hard drive, therefore users can store more files.]]> 2017-09-28 13:24:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrislewisclark1999/pszh4qph3clg/wish/192056517
