GIF is a lossless compression introduced by CompuServe in 1987 using Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression.
motivation of lossless image compression
Lossless. Compression techniques do not remove detail from the image.
Lossless compression is the correct answer :)
Pict files can use 2 different forms of compression. 1- RLE Compression (the default) is lossless. 2- JPEG compression (only on some systems/graphics programmes) is lossy.
lossless
Lossless data compression preserves the full resolution of the sound, meaning that no sound quality is lost during the compression process. Sound files compressed with lossless software are an exact copy of their original.
That depends on the compression method used. There are some compression methods that are lossless, meaning that the original data can be 100% reconstructed. Zip files and similar methods use lossless compression.The compression used for images, photos, and video files is typically not lossless. Depending on the degree of compression achieved, there will be artifacts (imperfections) introduced in the data. A balance must be struck between the resulting file size and the degradation of the data.

The source code, in C, will depend on what type of lossless compression algorithm will be used. A source code should be available from various computer scientists in your area.
