This paper presents a novel method for the compression and decompression of digital color images .Image compression is essential for applications such as storage in data base and transmits an image. Compression becomes very easy techniques to apply without much technical requirement. In this paper we proposed an algorithm by which we can compress a color image or a photo frame. A novel algorithm has been developed by which we can decompress a color image which is compressed using the compression algorithm. The results show that the coding performance and the estimated time require compressing an image and decompressing an image is significantly increases.

Keywords: Image Compression, Image decompression, coding performance.
