- jsheard 6y agoThe LenPEG algorithm can compress images down to 0 bytes in the best case https://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/lenpeg.html https://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/lenpeg.html
- gotem 6y agoI thought you were being sereis but it only works for 1 image at 0z
- BlueTemplar 6y agoI see that the best case is actually a negative, unbounded number of bytes?

You could also think about lossy compression that is indistinguishable from lossless for the human eye, then you get another (lower) lower bound.
