Compression Standards

Compression standards are established methods that define how digital data, like images, videos, or audio, are reduced in size without losing essential quality. These standards ensure that different devices and software can efficiently compress and decompress files consistently, making storage and transmission more efficient. Popular examples include JPEG for images, MP3 for audio, and H.264 for videos. By following these standards, content maintains quality while requiring less space and bandwidth, facilitating easier sharing and quicker loading across platforms and devices.
