| Aliasing |
Jagged or stair-stepped appearance of diagonal lines in compressed images |
| Bitrate |
The number of bits that are processed or transmitted per unit of time, typically measured in bits per second (bps) |
| Blockiness |
Visible grid-like patterns that result from dividing images into blocks for compression |
| Color Bleeding |
Blurring of colors or bleeding of colors outside their boundaries in a compressed image |
| Compression |
The process of reducing the size of data by encoding it in a more efficient representation. |
| Data |
Facts or information that is represented in a form suitable for processing. |
| Entropy Coding |
A data compression technique that assigns shorter codes to symbols that occur most frequently in a data stream. |
| GIF |
A lossy compression format used to compress animated images. |
| Image Compression |
Reducing the file size of an image while preserving its quality and visual information. |
| Image Compression Artifacts |
Unintended visual distortions or anomalies that occur in compressed images |
| JPEG |
A widely employed standard for compressing images which uses lossy compression techniques to decrease file sizes. |
| Lossless Compression |
Reducing the size of data without any loss of information. |
| Lossy Compression |
Reducing the size of a file by sacrificing a portion of its data, leading to a smaller size yet reduced quality. |
| Noise |
Random variations or distortions introduced in an image during compression |
| PNG |
A file format employing lossless compression to store images, often utilized for web graphics and images that have transparent backgrounds. |
| Posterization |
Reduction of smooth gradients in an image to distinct bands of color due to compression |
| Ring Artifacts |
Circular or ring-shaped distortions that occur around edges in compressed images |
