Lossy Compression
1.Reduces file size by removing less critical data, which can lower quality.
Lossless Compression
1. Reduces file size without losing quality by preserving all original data.
3. Fully reversible, allowing restoration to the original format for editing or printing.
1. For saving storage and improving website performance, lossy compression is better.
Lossy compression is ideal for reducing file size and delivering optimized images to users.
Slide 6: What is Lossless Compression Used For?
Lossless compression is preferred when maintaining image quality is critical, such as for archival storage.
