Best Answer

Every document or project contains tons of repetitive data. We may notice this after we write a document and see that we have used one specific word hundreds of times. In the file compression process, repetitive sections of a document or project are transformed into code. This code is a compact form of data, as it is quickly applied to any repeating information.

The advantage

· Less disk space (more data in reality)

· Faster writing and reading

· Faster file transfer

· Variable dynamic range

· Byte order independent

What are the advantages of compression?

Compressing files or images enables you to (sometimes dramatically) decrease the memory space that file will take up. Without going into to too much detail, it works by 'approximating' the information in the file, thereby lowering the detail and filespace. However, compression also reduces the quality of the file, possibly corrupting it if it is compressed too much!
