Important Notes About ZIP Compression
It’s important to understand that the effectiveness of ZIP compression depends largely on the type of files you compress:
- Already Compressed Files: Formats like JPEG images, MP3 audio, MP4 video, and PDF files often have built-in compression, so zipping them may only slightly reduce the file size (5-10%).
- Uncompressed or Raw Files: Plain text files, BMP images, or raw data can see significant size reductions (up to 50% or more) when zipped.
- Compression Level: The tool offers two compression levels — Fast (no compression, just archiving) and Strong (compressed). Choose “Strong” for best results.
FAQs
