RLE stands for Run-Length Encoding, a simple form of data compression that reduces the size of repetitive data sequences. It is often used for bitmap images where large blocks of pixels have the same color, making the file more efficient to store and transmit.
RLE works by replacing consecutive repeated values with a count and a single instance of the value, which reduces file size for suitable data types. However, it is less effective for complex images or data without many repeated sequences, so it's often combined with other compression methods for better results.
RLE compression is widely used in formats like BMP and TIFF, especially for images with large areas of uniform color. Interestingly, it dates back to early computing days when storage and bandwidth were very limited, showcasing the long-standing importance of data efficiency.
