Reduzise

Reduzise is a term used in information technology to describe the collection of methods and practices aimed at reducing the size of digital content while preserving usability, quality, or functionality. It is not a formal standard, but a descriptive label that appears in technical discussions and product marketing to convey the goal of lowering payloads, storage requirements, or transmission costs. In practice, reduzise covers a spectrum of techniques that apply across data types, including data compression, image and video optimization, audio encoding, and code or asset minification.

Common approaches fall into several domains. Data and file compression use lossless algorithms to shrink files without any information loss and lossy methods to achieve greater reductions with some fidelity loss. Image and video optimization exploit newer formats and encodings, such as WebP, AVIF, or AV1, along with efficient resolutions and bitrates. Audio encoding uses formats like Opus or AAC to reduce bandwidth, while web and mobile applications often employ minification, bundling, and lazy loading to cut asset sizes and improve load times. Content delivery networks and caching further support reduzise by reducing repeated transfers and accelerating delivery.

Applications span web performance improvement, mobile app efficiency, streaming services, and long-term data storage. Key considerations include balancing quality against size, encoding and decoding costs, compatibility, licensing, and potential loss of information in lossy paths. Metrics commonly used to evaluate reduzise include compression ratio, bitrate, perceptual quality measures, and resulting latency or energy usage. Related topics include data compression, media encoding, and performance optimization.
