compression
A method for storing text, data, or images in fewer bits, it makes data smaller so less disk or file space is needed to represent the same information. Consequently, the information may be transmitted in less time. Compression takes place via one of several compression standards, including JPG, MPEG, GIF, TIF, and ZIP.
