The following is intended to be a comprehensive list of lossless compression algorithms (in no particular order), however if you feel like an algorithm is missing, please let us know. Run-length Coding Range Coding Lempel-Ziv LZ77 LZ78 LZSS LZW Dictionary Coding Variable-length Coding Huffman Coding…

When jumping into this guide, it’s important to identify what you want to gain from it. For example, if you’d simply like to familiarize yourself with different compression algorithms, you could just skim over the different algorithms and play with the interactive algorithms. However, if you’re…

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Compression Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose…
