  2. File size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_size

    File size is a measure of how much data a computer file contains or, alternately, how much storage it consumes. Typically, file size is expressed in units of measurement based on the byte . By convention, file size units use either a metric prefix (as in megabyte and gigabyte ) or a binary prefix (as in mebibyte and gibibyte ).

  3. File Allocation Table - Wikipedia

    Max file size: 4,294,967,295 bytes (4 GB − 1) File size granularity: 1 byte: Max no. of files: 65,536 for 32 KB clusters: Max filename length: 8.3 filename with OEM characters, 255 UCS-2 characters when using LFN: Max directory depth: 32 levels or 66 characters (with CDS), 60 levels or more (without CDS) Features; Dates recorded

  4. exFAT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT

    For each file, exFAT uses two separate 64-bit fields in the directory: the valid data length (VDL), which indicates the real size of the file, and the physical data length. To provide improvement in the allocation of cluster storage for a new file, Microsoft incorporated a method to pre-allocate contiguous clusters and bypass the use of ...

  5. Compression of an image to reduce file size (in Kb) is usually "lossy" and is not advised for featured pictures. Image compression will reduce download times and save disk space, but it does so at the expense of fine detail and overall image quality. If in doubt, when saving JPEG files, always select the "maximum" quality setting.

  6. Kilobyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte

    Kilobyte. The kilobyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information . The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix kilo as a multiplication factor of 1000 (10 3 ); therefore, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. [1] The internationally recommended unit symbol for the kilobyte is kB. [1]

  7. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

  9. Email attachment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_attachment

    A 10MB email size limit would require that the size of the attachment files is actually limited to about 7MB. Users should be cautious with certain file formats when received as email attachments, such as .zip and .tgz files, because they can contain harmful viruses and potential software. .iso files can also be used to spread malware and .exe ...
