Compression

So why do we compress images??

• By decreasing the image size (bytes) the screen speed is faster

• By decreasing the image size (bytes) the web page loads faster

• By decreasing the image size (bytes) the less the bandwidth consumption

Image Compression Methods

Two Types - • Lossy Compression• Lossless Compression

Lossless Compression

• The file does not discard any data when saving.

• Compression occurs by recording color changes from the pixel directly to the left.

• Each pixel maintains its own identity.

• Compression results in a sharp image that looks identical to the original.

• Can reduce a file up to 30%.

Lossy Compression

• The file loses data each time it is saved.

• Compression occurs by averaging pixels values (colors) to eliminate the amount of info needed to be saved.

• Each time you save, your image deteriorates more resulting in COMPRESSION ARTIFACTS.

• Can reduce a file up to 50%.

Compression TypesLossy

A compression type in which the image loses color data each time it is saved.

How it compresses:Averages colors so some

can be eliminated.Compression results:

Loss of quality, blurring and compression

artifacts.Percent of reduction:

About 50%

LosslessA compression type in which no data is lost when saving.

How it compresses:Compares each pixel with the one before it and only

records color change.

Compression results:No color loss or blurring.

Percent of reduction:

About 30%
