Introduction

Every day in real life, files are transferred from one place to another over the internet millions of times. As with solid files like wads of paper, it would make it a lot easier and efficient to transfer if they were smaller and more compact… the same applies here. With millions of files being uploaded and transferred across the internet every day, files are required to be compressed so that space is not wasted on the world-wide web. This is why compression exists. The idea of compression is that it reduces the amount of space required to store files on a hard drive or server and makes them quicker to send. There are many different examples of compression in the modern world such as JPEG (image), MP3 (for music), MPEG (movies or any combination of audio and pictures), and ZIP (used for many things).
