Data compression is a technique used to reduce the amount of space needed to store or transmit data. It works by removing redundant or unnecessary data and using algorithms that allow data to be stored more efficiently. Data compression can reduce the size of a file by up to 90%, making it ideal for storing and transmitting large files across networks. Compressed files take up less disk space and can be transmitted more quickly.
