Media compression

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000729

The process of reducing the size of digital audio, video, or image files to save storage space and bandwidth. This is achieved by removing redundant or less perceptible information, often using algorithms that exploit human perceptual limitations. Common techniques include lossy compression for formats like MP3 and JPEG, and lossless compression for formats like FLAC and PNG.
