Deflate to Text Decompress Tool

Using this tool, you can compress your text or decompress your compressed text using Gzip (gz), Deflate, or Brotli compression algorithms. You can also compare the size between your source and result in bytes. Please note that the text uses UTF-8 encoding for compression, and the result will be encoded using Base64 by default. Similarly, decompression accepts Base64 encoded compressed text, and the result will be encoded using UTF-8.

What is Deflate Compression?

Deflate compression is a lossless data compression and also a simple algorithm that is used to compress and decompress files. It was developed in the early 1990s by Phil Katz, and is based on the LZ77 algorithm for finding repeated patterns in the data, and the Huffman coding algorithm for encoding the patterns.

The Deflate algorithm works by first finding repeated patterns in the data and replacing them with shorter codes that represent the pattern, along with a reference to the location of the original pattern in the data. The algorithm then uses Huffman coding to further compress the data by assigning shorter codes to more frequently occurring patterns and longer codes to less frequently occurring patterns.

One of the main disadvantages of Deflate is that it can be slower than other compression algorithms, especially for very large files. Additionally, because Deflate is a general-purpose compression algorithm, it may not be the best choice for certain types of data, such as audio or video files, which may be better compressed using specialized algorithms.

Deflate compression is a widely used data compression algorithm that is used in a variety of applications, including file compression, network transmission, and data storage.
