There are generic compression algorithms available, including Google’s open source Brotli. Lepton, written primarily in C++, is tuned to work with images, and it cuts off 22 percent of file size ...

People store large quantities of data in their electronic devices and transfer some of this data to others, whether for professional or personal reasons. Data compression methods are thus of the ...

Compression algorithms, such as LZ77 and Huffman, analyze data for redundancies and patterns, allowing them to represent those patterns more efficiently with fewer bits.

MIT researchers could speed up file compression using an improved Fourier transform algorithm A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image ...

Google just launched Zopfli, a new open source compression algorithm that can compress web content about three to eight percent more densely (PDF) than the standard zlib library. Because Zopfli is ...

"I began experimenting with file-compression algorithms to see if we could shrink files to the point where they could be sent over standard phone lines," he said.

But algorithms used on the Linux command line to compress or archive user files have to be able to reproduce the original content exactly. In other words, they have to be lossless. How is that done?

An algorithm based on scale-specific quantization of biorthogonal wavelet coefficients was developed for the compression of high-resolution digitized mammograms.

Microsoft is making major changes to how SMB compression operates in Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022. The enhancements will particularly interest IT admins and users in client-server environments.
