  2. List of archive formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats

    This means that compressed archives with the UC2 file extension can hold almost 1 million files. .uca PerfectCompress [17] Windows: Windows: No Based on PAQ, RZM, CSC, CCM, and 7zip. The format consists of a PAQ, RZM, CSC, or CCM compressed file and a manifest with compression settings stored in a 7z archive. .uha UHarc DOS/Windows: DOS/Windows ...

  3. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

    The "trick" that allows lossless compression algorithms, used on the type of data they were designed for, to consistently compress such files to a shorter form is that the files the algorithms are designed to act on all have some form of easily modeled redundancy that the algorithm is designed to remove, and thus belong to the subset of files ...

  4. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    For example, in that model, a zip file's compressed size includes both the zip file and the unzipping software, since you can not unzip it without both, but there may be an even smaller combined form. Examples of AI-powered audio/video compression software include NVIDIA Maxine, AIVC. [24]

  5. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

    For example, a compressed ZIP file is smaller than its original, but repeatedly compressing the same file will not reduce the size to nothing. Most compression algorithms can recognize when further compression would be pointless and would in fact increase the size of the data.

  6. Data compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression_ratio

    Thus, a representation that compresses the storage size of a file from 10 MB to 2 MB yields a space saving of 1 - 2/10 = 0.8, often notated as a percentage, 80%. For signals of indefinite size, such as streaming audio and video, the compression ratio is defined in terms of uncompressed and compressed data rates instead of data sizes:

  7. Deflate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFLATE

    AdvanceCOMP uses the higher compression ratio versions of Deflate in 7-Zip, libdeflate, and Zopfli to enable recompression of gzip, PNG, MNG and ZIP files with the possibility of smaller file sizes than zlib is able to achieve at maximum settings. [14]

  8. Solid compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_compression

    Archiving various uncompressed files via tar and then compressing yields a compressed archive: a .tar.gz file – this is solid compression. A rough graphical representation In this example, three files each have a common part with the same information, a unique part with information not in the other files, and an "air" part with low-entropy ...

  9. Executable compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression

    Executable compression can be used to prevent direct disassembly, mask string literals and modify signatures. Although this does not eliminate the chance of reverse engineering, it can make the process more costly. A compressed executable requires less storage space in the file system, thus less time to transfer data from the file system into ...
