What is compression? Why is it necessary to compress files?..

Answer / Bappa Bagchi

Compression refers to the process of reducing the size of digital data while maintaining its integrity. It is necessary to compress files because multimedia files, such as images and videos, can be very large in size and require a significant amount of storage space or bandwidth for transmission. Compression allows for more efficient storage and faster transfer speeds.
