BMP file types are lossless.
BMP format stores color data for each pixel in the image without any compression. For example, a 10x10 pixel BMP image will include color data for 100 pixels. This method of storing image information allows for crisp, high-quality graphics, but also produces large file sizes.

Lossy
Lossless. Compression techniques do not remove detail from the image.
Yes, BMP files can be compressed, but they are typically uncompressed by default, which results in larger file sizes. Compression can be achieved using lossless methods, such as ZIP compression, or by converting BMP files to other formats like JPEG or PNG, which inherently support compression. However, converting to a lossy format may result in a loss of image quality.

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.

Zip files are lossless. This means that when files are compressed into a zip format, no data is lost during the compression process; the original files can be perfectly reconstructed when extracted. Lossless compression algorithms used in zip files preserve the integrity of the data, making them suitable for text documents, images, and other file types where data accuracy is crucial.
File compression uses software algorithms to reduce file size by reducing the bit-rate of a file. Lossy compression takes it a bit further and lowers the quality of thr file to make it even smaller. Lossy compression is commonly used for media files, but would not be appropriate for other types of files.
