    Lossy compression should be applied to text messages and music while lossless compression should be applied to images and videos

    A lossy compression of a file implies that the quality of the file is reduced in order to get the file compressed.

    This type of compression can be applied to text messages and music because a reduction in the size and quality will only reduce few details about the text messages and music file.

    However, a lossless compression is such that even after the file size is reduced, the quality remains unchanged. This type of compression can be applied to video and pictures because even if the size is reduced, the quality of the files are not expected to change.

    Hence;

    • Lossy compression should be applied to text messages and music
    • Lossless compression should be applied to images and videos
