Kompressiooniformaatideks

Kompressiooniformaatideks, or compression formats, are methods used to reduce the size of data files without significantly losing quality. These formats are essential in digital media, software distribution, and data storage to save space and bandwidth. Common compression formats include ZIP, RAR, TAR, and GZIP for general-purpose files, MP3 and AAC for audio, H.264 and VP9 for video, and JPEG and PNG for images. Each format uses different algorithms to achieve compression, such as lossless (retaining all original data) or lossy (sacrificing some data for smaller size). Compression formats are widely used in various applications, from archiving files to streaming media, making them a fundamental aspect of modern digital technology.
