A blockchain startup is claiming it has developed an algorithm that can reduce the size of digital files by 10,000 times.

Not every compression method works for every file, and you can increase efficiency by changing the file type, codec, or program used.

A British startup says it has achieved a breakthrough in data compression with a new tool which it claims can deliver up to 65% lossless file reduction.

MIT researchers could speed up file compression using an improved Fourier transform algorithm A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve found a way to speed up audio, video, and image ...

A team of engineers at Dropbox's Hack Week re-created the fictional compression schema from HBO's Silicon Valley.

If you have any doubt about the many commands and options available on Linux systems for file compression, you might want to take a look at the output of the apropos compress command. Chances are ...

Cloud syncing and sharing software company Dropbox today announced that it has released an image compression algorithm called Lepton under an Apache open source license on GitHub.

The "middle-out" algorithm that has its roots in the most infamous (and probably funniest) scene in HBO's "Silicon Valley" may have been fictional, but something like it can be found in Lepton, a ...

This compression may be lossless, such as in png files, or lossy, as in jpg files. Lossless photo compression works similarly to zip and rar compression: it packs data with a reversible algorithm.

A variety of Mac applications compress files, but two simple commands native to macOS fulfill the same functionality--often more quickly and for less expense.
