The document describes a simple byte compression technique. It discusses the fundamentals of compression including lossy and lossless techniques. The simple byte compression technique uses a 5-bit coding scheme instead of standard 8-bit to represent characters, reducing file size. It includes a lookup table, compression algorithm that converts characters to 5-bit values, and decompression algorithm that reconstructs the original text. The technique was tested on various text files and achieved compression ratios up to 62.5%, outperforming other lossless compression methods. In conclusion, the simple byte compression provides an effective way to reduce file sizes.
