Lossless data-compression programs search through documents for redundant or repetitive data and then encode it. For example, a text document may contain 200 empty spaces, 100 instances of the ...

Better than JPEG? Researcher discovers that Stable Diffusion can compress images Lossy compression bypasses text-to-image portions of Stable Diffusion with interesting results.

The result is a new data compression method that outperforms existing techniques, such as JPEG for images, and that could eventually be adopted for medical, scientific and video streaming ...

Beyond RGB: A new image file format efficiently stores invisible light data New Spectral JPEG XL compression reduces file sizes, making spectral imaging more practical.

Other than being a controversial example of machine-assisted visual expression, Stable Diffusion could have a future as a powerful image compression algorithm.
