Data compression software refers to programs designed to reduce the size of files and data sets by employing various algorithms and techniques. The primary goal of data compression is to save disk space, reduce transmission times over networks, and optimize storage requirements. This software works by identifying and eliminating redundancies within the data, thus allowing more efficient storage or faster transmission. There are two main types of data compression: 1. **Lossless Compression**: This method allows the original data to be perfectly reconstructed from the compressed data.
