= Lossless compression algorithms
{wiki=Category:Lossless_compression_algorithms}
Lossless compression algorithms are methods of data compression that allow the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data without any loss of information. This means that when data is compressed using a lossless algorithm, it can be decompressed to retrieve the exact original data, byte for byte. Lossless compression is particularly important for certain types of data where any loss of information would be unacceptable.
