What is Image Compression?

Have you ever struggled with large file sizes when dealing with photos taken on your smartphone or images used on websites? That's where "image compression" comes in handy.

This article explains the basics of image compression, its use cases, and the benefits of learning it. Master image compression and enjoy a more comfortable digital life!

1. What is Image Compression?


Image compression is the process of reducing the file size of an image. Specifically, it reduces file size by reducing the number of pixels in an image or lowering the image quality.

Why Compress Images?

・ Efficient File Transfer: When sending images via email or chat, large file sizes can take a long time or even prevent sending.
・ Improved Website Loading Speed: Large image file sizes on a website can slow down page loading, harming user experience.
・ Storage Space Savings: You can save storage space on your smartphone or computer.

2. Where is it Used?


Image compression is used in a variety of situations:

・ Website Production: Compressing images for websites improves page loading speed.
・ Social Media Posting: Compressing images for Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms reduces upload time.
・ Email Attachments: Reducing the file size of images attached to emails makes sending smoother.
・ Presentation Materials: Compressing images included in presentation materials reduces file size.
・ Blog Articles: Compressing images included in blog articles improves page loading speed.
・ Online Shopping: Compressing product images on online shops improves page loading speed.

3. What are the Benefits of Learning it?


There are numerous benefits to learning about image compression:

(1). Improved Website Performance: Improves website loading speed and enhances user experience.
(2). Efficient File Transfer: Reduces the time it takes to transfer files and improves work efficiency.
(3). Storage Space Savings: Saves storage space and reduces unnecessary costs.
(4). Enhanced Web Production Skills: Deepens your understanding of how to handle images in web production.
(5). Improved Digital Literacy: Enhances your skills in handling digital information efficiently.

Image compression is an important skill not only for web production and digital marketing but also for everyday digital life.

In conclusion


Image compression is the process of reducing the file size of an image. It offers various benefits, including improved website performance, efficient file transfer, and storage space savings.

Understanding Probability and Probability Distributions from Scratch

 In modern society, we are surrounded by various uncertainties and random phenomena. From the weather and stock prices to the outcomes of sports and even small daily choices, the concepts of probability and probability distributions are powerful tools for understanding these uncertainties quantitatively. This article explains what probability and probability distributions are, where they are used, and the benefits of learning these concepts. 1. What are Probability and Probability Distributions? Probability is a way of expressing the likelihood of an event occurring as a number between 0 and 1. 0 means the event will not occur, and 1 means the event will definitely occur. The mathematical thinking behind probability is often subtly present when we talk about the “likelihood” of something happening in everyday life. A probability distribution systematically represents all possible outcomes and the probability of each outcome. - Discrete Probability Distribution This applies to distr...

Entendiendo la Regresión de Bosques Aleatorios desde Cero

En el panorama actual de la ciencia de datos, los algoritmos capaces de manejar eficazmente relaciones no lineales e interacciones complejas están muy demandados. Entre estos, la Regresión de Bosques Aleatorios destaca como una técnica flexible y potente, logrando una alta precisión predictiva al combinar numerosos modelos de regresión de árboles de decisión. Este artículo explica los conceptos básicos de la Regresión de Bosques Aleatorios, los escenarios donde sus fortalezas se utilizan mejor y los beneficios de aprender esta técnica. 1. ¿Qué es la Regresión de Bosques Aleatorios? La Regresión de Bosques Aleatorios es una técnica de regresión que integra múltiples modelos de regresión de árboles de decisión en forma de “aprendizaje conjunto” (ensemble learning). – Principios Básicos Cada árbol de decisión se construye utilizando muestras bootstrap (remuestreo de los datos) del conjunto de entrenamiento. Además, las características utilizadas para la división en cada nodo se selecciona...

Understanding Differential Equations Solved with Variation of Parameters

1. What are Differential Equations Solved with Variation of Parameters? Differential equations are a powerful tool for mathematically capturing changing phenomena. Among these, the “method of variation of parameters” is a particularly useful technique for solving non-homogeneous linear differential equations. The general solution to a homogeneous differential equation is known, expressed by a combination of constants (constant coefficients).  However, this cannot be directly solved when a non-homogeneous term (corresponding to an external influence or input) is added. Therefore, the method of variation of parameters takes an approach of replacing the original constant parts with (unknown) functions and determining the shape of those functions through differentiation. This method allows the construction of a complete solution including the non-homogeneous term.  Due to its flexibility in handling various systems – such as when the non-homogeneous term is an exponential function...
