How can you compress an image? I get it with video, but in an image every pixel is exactly where it's supposed to be.

Is this a jokey joke? Why would video be any different it's literally a series of pictures.

Because the picture is getting displayed for 1/30th of a second you dumb cunt.

And by only describing the bits of video in motion you can compress massively with limited quality drops.

The simplest way is just to count how many consecutive pixels have the same color and then store the color once with the count.
You won't save a lot of space, but you will compress somewhat.
