2. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   Image compression. Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other ...

3. JPEG - Wikipedia

   JPEG. JPEG ( / ˈdʒeɪpɛɡ / JAY-peg, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group) [2] is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality.

4. WebP - Wikipedia

   WebP is a raster graphics file format developed by Google intended as a replacement for JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, [8] as well as animation and alpha transparency . Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting library in April 2018.

   PNG images are less widely supported by older browsers. In particular, IE6 has limited support for PNG. JPEG Composite image comparing lossy compression in JPEG with lossless compression in PNG: the JPEG artifacts can be easily visible in the background of this kind of image data, where the PNG image has solid color.

   jpeg .org /jpegxl (official website) jpegxl .info (community website) JPEG XL is a royalty-free raster-graphics file format that supports both lossy and lossless compression. It is designed to outperform existing raster formats and thus become their universal replacement. [5]

7. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   High-compression (low quality) JPEG. In information technology, lossy compression or irreversible compression is the class of data compression methods that uses inexact approximations and partial data discarding to represent the content. These techniques are used to reduce data size for storing, handling, and transmitting content.
