Can I ZIP my pictures or MP3 files to save space?<\/h4>\n

By Leo Notenboom<\/p>\n

ZIP is a very popular compression algorithm supported by many popular programs such as WinZip, 7-Zip, and recent versions of Microsoft Windows. ZIPping a file or set of files can often reduce their size significantly at the cost of needing to be unzipped before they can be used.<\/p>\n

Note though that I said, “…often reduce their size.”<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, “often” doesn’t mean “always.”<\/p>\n

\u2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

The short answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

ZIPping photographs, music, and videos will typically not make them significantly smaller and can even make them slightly larger.<\/p>\n

To understand why that might be, we need to look into how compression works at a high level.<\/p>\n

About compression<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the specifics of many different compression algorithms is often the stuff of research, theses, and even patents, the concepts of compression are actually fairly simple.<\/p>\n

The idea is that information stored on disk is often stored in a way that is less than optimal for storage. It may be optimal for other purposes, but as a side effect, there may be redundant information in the data that could be represented differently.<\/p>\n

A simple compression algorithm is “run length encoding.”<\/p>\n

Consider the following text:<\/p>\n

This is a row of 10 asterisks: ********** followed by text.<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s 59 characters long. If we define the character “+” to not be a plus character, but rather an indicator that the next two characters are a count, and the third character the character that should be repeated that many times, we get this:<\/p>\n

This is a row of 10 asterisks: +10* followed by text.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ve shortened or “compressed” the text to only 53 characters, but it still means exactly the same thing. When decompressed, the “+” is encountered causing the “10*” that follows it to be read and replaced with 10 asterisks. The original uncompressed text is restored.<\/p>\n

This is a row of 10 asterisks: ********** followed by text.<\/em><\/p>\n
