Final answer:
Lossy compression removes non-essential information to reduce file sizes while compromising some details.
Explanation:
Lossy compression removes information from a file that cannot be easily detected by humans, resulting in smaller file sizes.
One key feature of lossy compression is that it permanently deletes data that is considered unnecessary for human perception, unlike lossless compression which retains all original data.
Examples of lossy compression include MP3 for audio and JPEG for images.
