Program Plan Intro

File compression:

  • It is the process of shrinking a file in order to reduce the actual size of the file. This is done in order to free up spaces on the storage media.
  • It is easy for the user to attach the compressed file to e-mail which reduces the time required for the file transmission.
  • Compressed files are also called as zipped files.
  • If a person gets a compressed file, then he/ she should unzip the file in order to get the original form.
