compressing
Compressing refers to the process of reducing the size of data files in order to save space or to speed up transmission. This could relate to various forms of data including documents, images, video, and audio files. Compression can be done through different techniques, often removing redundant or unnecessary information. It is also important to note that compression can be lossless, where no information is lost in the process, or lossy, where some data may be eliminated.
