Detailed explanation-1: -With lossless compression, every bit of data originally in a file remains after it is uncompressed, and all the information is restored. Lossy compression reduces a file by permanently eliminating certain information, especially redundant information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lossless compression “packs” data into a smaller file size by using a kind of internal shorthand to signify redundant data. If an original file is 1.5 MB, for example, lossless compression can reduce it to about half that size, depending on the type of file being compressed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lossy compression algorithms are techniques that reduce file size by discarding the less important information. Nobody likes losing information, but some types of files are so large that there’s just not enough space to keep all the original data, plus we didn’t need all that data in the first place.

Detailed explanation-4: -By and large, lossy compression may not noticeably reduce your image quality. However, if you compress your images by too much or do so repeatedly, then you might see pixelation and loss of detail.
