| The process of taking one or
more files and making them smaller by using a compression algorithm.
Commonly, file compression will combine each of the compressed files
into one compressed file containing each of the files.
Compressed files enable downloading and
sharing files to be much easier because the user commonly only needs
to download one file and the file is smaller than the overall
original program or files.
