%X Data may be compressed by reducing the redundancy in the original data, but this makes the data have more errors. In this paper a novel approach of image compression based on a new method that has been created for image compression which is called Five Modulus Method (FMM). The new method consists of converting each pixel value in an 8กม8 block into a multiple of 5 for each of the R, G and B arrays. After that, the new values could be divided by 5 to get new values which are 6-bit length for each pixel and it is less in storage space than the original value which is 8-bits. Also, a new protocol for compression of the new values as a stream of bits has been presented that gives the opportunity to store and transfer the new compressed image easily.
