Data that contains a lot of repetition or patterns can be compressed very well. Examples include text files, images with large areas of the same color, and files that contain long sequences of the same symbols.

Can all file formats be compressed?

No. the format of a file is the description about how the data in it are structured. Thus the data described by the format can be compressed but the format itself can not.


Compression programs by what language programmed How does it work and What is the maximum of compression for any file?

The basic principle (and a very simplified explanation) of data compression is to look for repetitions in data, and replace it by abbreviations. This means that not all data can be compressed - it is fairly easy to show (do some reading on the "counting argument") that no matter what compression method is used, there will always be some data that can't be compressed. On the other hand, some data can be compressed quite a lot. The maximum compression factor depends on what kind of data is saved. For example, typically a text file (like, one created with Word or Excel) will compress in a ratio of 2 or 3 (the compressed file will be smaller by a factor of 2-3 than the original data), while, to give another example, a JPEG (JPG) image can hardly be compressed at all - because it is already stored in compressed form. In theory, data compression can be programmed in almost any language. After all, all that is required is to read a file (other input is possible, though), do some manipulations (according to certain standards), and save it again.

How safe is data when using vitulization technology?

This depends on how well your data is secured, coded, or encoded. If you have a well secured document with a hard-to-crack code your data is likely very safe. Meanwhile data with no security is probably not too safe.
