Does lossless compression throw away unimportant details?

Lossy compression techniques are no longer commonly used. Lossless compression is fully reversible, meaning the original file can be recreated bit for bit. Lossless compression throws away unimportant details that a human being will likely be unable to detect.

Which type of image uses lossy compression to reduce file size?

The JPEG image file, commonly used for photographs and other complex still images on the web with no transparency, is generally compressed using lossy compression. Using JPEG compression, the creator can decide how much loss to introduce, and how much of a trade-off is acceptable between file size and image quality.

Which of the following is a true statement about data compression?

Q. Which of the following is a true statement about data compression? Data compression is only useful for files being transmitted over the Internet. Regardless of the compression technique used, once a data file is compressed, it cannot be restored to its original state.

Which type of compression perfectly reconstructs the data from its compressed state to match the original image?

Compression quality. When we use a lossless compression algorithms, we can always reconstruct 100% of the original data.
