Fun Fact About Image Compression

The JPEG image format, one of the most widely used formats for compressed photos, was introduced in 1992 and is still one of the most efficient ways to store high-quality images in small file sizes.

Historical Context

Image compression has been a critical part of digital computing since the early days of the internet. As online content grew, the need to transfer images quickly over slow connections led to the development of advanced compression algorithms such as JPEG, PNG, and later WebP.

Modern browsers and JavaScript technologies now make it possible to perform complex image optimization tasks directly on user devices, eliminating the need for external servers and giving users full control over their data.
