Data compression techniques are used to reduce the size of files and data for efficient storage and transmission.

Examples of compression algorithms include ZIP for general purpose compression, JPEG for image compression, and MP3 for audio compression.


What is compression utility?

A compression utility is a software tool that reduces the size of files or data by encoding information more efficiently. This is achieved through various algorithms that remove redundancy and optimize storage space, making it easier to store, transfer, and manage files. Common examples include ZIP, RAR, and GZIP formats. These utilities are widely used for file sharing, backup solutions, and efficient data management.
