How is it possible to reduce data file size for compression and then restore it to its original format without any loss of information?
Clever algorithms are used that only remove non-essential "blank" data.
The removed data is stored elsewhere on the Cloud and added later during restoring.
Repetitive data, like a color on an image, can be stored with a formula.
It is not really possible to restore 100%, but the data loss is not noticeable.

A high resolution picture is taken of an eagle flying in the sky. Is this picture a good candidate for lossless data compression or should lossy data compression be used?
Lossy data compression is fine, because the picture started with high resolution.
This decision cannot be made without knowing the purpose of the image.
This picture is a good candidate for lossless data compression. Much of the picture will include sky pixels of the same color that can be stored in a formula and restored to its original image quality.
All still pictures should use lossless data compression. Only audio files and video files can manage lossy data compression well.
