the different ways files can be reduced

the different ways files can be reduced in size and tell you what's best for

in size and tell you what's best for
0:06
in size and tell you what's best for each file type
0:07
each file type so what exactly is happening when you

so what exactly is happening when you hit that compress or extract button well

hit that compress or extract button well

hit that compress or extract button well it's like a game of Monkey C Monkey do

it's like a game of Monkey C Monkey do

it's like a game of Monkey C Monkey do the compression algorithm looks for
0:16
the compression algorithm looks for
0:16
the compression algorithm looks for repeated data and replaces it with
0:18
repeated data and replaces it with
0:18
repeated data and replaces it with shorter codes it's like if we replaced
0:20
shorter codes it's like if we replaced
0:20
shorter codes it's like if we replaced every banana in this video with Nana
0:22
every banana in this video with Nana
0:22
every banana in this video with Nana we'd save a lot of breath and you'd
0:24
we'd save a lot of breath and you'd
0:24
we'd save a lot of breath and you'd still know what we're talking about
0:25
still know what we're talking about
0:25
still know what we're talking about there's two types of compression
0:27
there's two types of compression
0:27
there's two types of compression lossless and lossy
0:30
lossless and lossy think of lossless compression like a
0:32
think of lossless compression like a
0:32
think of lossless compression like a monkey's memory we remember every detail
0:34
monkey's memory we remember every detail
0:34
monkey's memory we remember every detail every banana every tree branch it's all
0:37
every banana every tree branch it's all
0:37
every banana every tree branch it's all there just packed away more efficiently
0:39
there just packed away more efficiently
0:39
there just packed away more efficiently lossy compression on the other hand is
0:41
lossy compression on the other hand is
0:41
lossy compression on the other hand is like a monkey's diet we love bananas but
0:44
like a monkey's diet we love bananas but
0:44
like a monkey's diet we love bananas but we can't eat the whole bunch at once so
0:46
we can't eat the whole bunch at once so
0:46
we can't eat the whole bunch at once so we take a bite here a bite there and the
0:49
we take a bite here a bite there and the
0:49
we take a bite here a bite there and the rest well it's sacrificed for the sake
0:51
rest well it's sacrificed for the sake
0:51
rest well it's sacrificed for the sake of our waistline
0:53
of our waistline imagine if we replaced all the similar
0:55
imagine if we replaced all the similar
0:55
imagine if we replaced all the similar shades of yellow in this banana with
0:57
shades of yellow in this banana with
0:57
shades of yellow in this banana with just one shade we'd save a lot of data
0:59
just one shade we'd save a lot of data
0:59
just one shade we'd save a lot of data but the banana might not look as tasty
1:01
but the banana might not look as tasty
1:01
but the banana might not look as tasty that's lossy compression for you
1:03
that's lossy compression for you
1:03
that's lossy compression for you here's a quick example of a lossless
1:05
here's a quick example of a lossless
1:05
here's a quick example of a lossless versus lossy image
1:07
versus lossy image So What compression is best
1:10
So What compression is best
1:10
So What compression is best well it depends on the situation and
1:12
well it depends on the situation and
1:12
well it depends on the situation and file type for images videos and audio in

file type for images videos and audio in
1:15
file type for images videos and audio in practice quite often there isn't much
1:17
practice quite often there isn't much
1:17
practice quite often there isn't much discernible difference between lossy and
1:19
discernible difference between lossy and
1:19
discernible difference between lossy and lossless just the size of the file
1:22
lossless just the size of the file
1:22
lossless just the size of the file if you want to ensure the image comes

we are storing multiple files and want them back exactly the same such as a
