One thing you should remember is that there is no software that can compress highly compressed files which are already compressed. Simply put, you can not include media files like JPEG or MP3 files because these files are already in a compressed format, however, this method will work for raw media files and many other different formats.

The tool I’ll be going to use to highly compress files in this tutorial is called FreeArc. This is a compression tool, Unlike WinRAR or Zip, this tool will give you the highest compression. This tool is now only available for 32-bit versions, so far, but it will soon be available for 64-bit version and will also add some more features.

Points to Remember to Get The Highest Compression.

If you want to add files to a very small size you should to take care of the following things:

  • Make sure the files you are trying to compress are not already in a compressed format like JPEG or MP4.
  • Ensure that you are not trying to compress compressed file like .zip or .rar or any other.
  • Check compression ratio percentages, if you have the highest compression compared to less percentage or zero percent, the compression ratio will be higher and the lower will be the file size.
  • Make sure you select the maximum compression from the Compression tab.

Step 2. Now right click on the file which you want to highly Compress.
