ZIP

[Marco]

When i right click on a photo or a file and chose to send
to compressed(zipped) file, it zips it to the same size!
How can I compress it to a smaller size?

Thanks

Most likely you are using a compressed graphics format like JPEG that has
already been compressed. Once its compressed you cant keep making it
samller in size. The only thing you can be is resize the image to make it
smaller in size.

Certain file formats such as jpeg images are already compressed, so adding
them to a zip file is not going to make them much smaller, if any.

I hit reply too soon. I was going to finish up by saying you will need to
resize the photo or save it with a lower quality setting if it is too large
to send.

SOme file formats (for example .jpg) are already compressed.
Trying to compress an already-compressed file doesn't accomplish
anything; sometimes it even makes it a little larger, due to the
extra overhead of compression.
