When straging the image files, we treat a large amount of file formats. The JPEG file format is usefull in this case because of the elimination of the file capacity. In this research, a new compression method has been proposed, which has the advantage of improved compression ability compared with conventional JPEG.The proposed method can be compressed more than 10% compared with JPEG with no image distortion. The research considers not only image but also audio. There are a lot of multimedia formats, so the research has classified about 350 multimedia formats from autio to image into 12 categories in order to recognize the each format.
