Digital image compression technology is of special interest for the fast transmission and real-time processing of digital image information on the internet. Although still image compression is a technique developed for a long time, plus there are several approaches which reduce the compression rate, and accelerate computation time, there are still a lot to go to improve the efficacy of compression. This paper is an analysis of various compression techniques can be applied to different types of images. By analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of different techniques, we can choose the correct technique that can be used for image compression.
