  People tend to store a lot of files inside theirs storage. When the storage
nears it limit, they then try to reduce those files size to minimum by using
data compression software. In this paper we propose a new algorithm for data
compression, called j-bit encoding (JBE). This algorithm will manipulates each
bit of data inside file to minimize the size without losing any data after
decoding which is classified to lossless compression. This basic algorithm is
intended to be combining with other data compression algorithms to optimize the
compression ratio. The performance of this algorithm is measured by comparing
combination of different data compression algorithms.
