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!

∙ 9y agoThe biggest advantage of compression is the fact that more data and other files can fit on smaller amounts of storage. A disadvantage is the quality lost when compressing.

Lossless compression is the correct answer :)
How does compression effect images?
Any type of compression will ideally reduce the size of an image. There are two types of compression which describe how they affect images:"Lossy" compressionThis type of compression reduces the size of the image by removing some data from it. This generally cause, effect the quality of the image, which mean it will reduce your image quality."Lossless" compressionThis type of compression reduces the size of the image by changing the way in which the data is stored. Therefore this type of compression will make no changes in your image.
What is difference between symmetric and asymmetric compression?
symmetric compressionA data compression technique that takes about the same amount of time to compress as it does to decompress.asymmetric compressionA data compression technique that typically takes more time to compress than it does to decompress. Some asymmetric compression methods take longer to decompress, which would be suited for backup files that are constantly being compressed and rarely decompressed.

What are disadvantage of video compression?
Following are the advantages of Video Compression:- Occupies less disk space.- Reading and writing is faster.- File transferring is faster.- The order of bytes is independent.Following are the disadvantages of video compression”- Compilation need to be done again for compression.- Errors may occur while transmitting data.- The byte / pixel relationship is unknown- Has to decompress the previous data.

Compression leg sleeves offer a few advantages! They protect your legs from dirt, and keep your legs cool or warm depending on the temperature. The pressure is also good for your muscles and keeps them relaxed.
