BZip3 – spiritual successor to BZip2

BZip3 bills itself as a “better, faster and stronger spiritual successor to BZip2”.

bzip2 is a high-quality data compressor. This utility typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques.

gzip provides the standard GNU file compression utilities, which are also the default compression tools for Debian.

pixz is a parallel, indexed xz compressor. pixz produces a collection of smaller blocks which makes random access to the original data possible.

lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services.

pigz is a fully functional replacement for gzip that uses multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data.

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data.

Zstandard is a fast compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios.

LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed > 500 MB/s per core (>0.15 Bytes/cycle).

jpegoptim is a utility to optimize jpeg files. Both lossless and lossy optimization are available from this free and open source tool.

Pngcrush is a free and open source optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. It is a command-line tool.

Zopfli Compression Algorithm is a compression library programmed in C to perform very good, but slow, deflate or zlib compression.

OptiPNG optimizes PNG files, i.e. reduce their size to a minimum, without losing semantic information.

pngquant is a command-line utility and a library for lossy compression of PNG images.

MozJPEG improves JPEG compression efficiency achieving higher visual quality and smaller file sizes at the same time.
