compressed
Made more compact
Compressed means reduced in size or volume by pressure.
Air can be compressed into tanks; files can be compressed to save storage space.
Compressed schedules pack more into less time.
The word suggests something squeezed tighter than its natural state: compressed lips, a compressed summary.
In audio and video, compressed formats sacrifice some quality for smaller file sizes.
