To compress large files to small size, we are going to using Compression software.
WinRAR is the best software for file compression. This tutorial will demonstrate how to compress a file with WinRAR. (Link Given Below)

Compressed folder is smaller in size, hence easier to upload and takes less time for data transfer. This also comes handy when you have to send files through email attachments, as there are size limitations.

@@youtubeeu4949 if you selected .zip, that might be the reason, try selecting .rar
Compression Method: Best
Dictionary size: 128mb
Create solid archive
Lock Archive
Thanks!!!
I don't think locking an archive would make a change in the compression ratio
@@UCmDBecUtbSafffpMEN3iscA whats locking archive do
@@LegendJ0e4 Protect the file by setting up a password. It's not really necessary bro.
One remark: set Dictionary size as big as you can set in your system.
1024 Mb needs 6.3 Gb of RAM for compression and around 1 Gb for decompression.
Thanks.
My rar file ended up having a bigger size than the original file itself.
The original file was 9.15 GB, the "compressed" one was 9.17 GB..
@@AltroG depends on what your are compressing - maybe you tried to compress already compressed file type
@@igorthelight I recorded a video straight out of OBS at a mp4 format. I'm not sure if OBS somehow generates a compressed file..
@@AltroG MP4 is a compressed video container - it will be very hard to compress it more.
But you may recode it with smaller resolution or bitrate - that WILL reduce it's size (and quality)
This is really useful, my men of war assault squad 2 mods were taking away a lot of space and I had to find a way to reduce those and this video solved it for me.
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for your kind feedback!!!
not sure if you can afford it or if i'm taking this wrong but i was in a similar situation with the sims mods, and think if your scenerio was anything like mine, this might save you in the future- i was forced to keep the mods in my c drive since that games mods ran off a documents c drive folder specifically, and even if i wanted them in my external drive, it would make game load speeds lower since i was using an hdd drive and was unfamiliar with ssd drives (which are tremendously faster and meant for heavy usage) so once i discovered ssd drives, i purchased the best one i could find at a price i could afford (which was a 150$ 2tb samsung t7) and have since stored all my games on there instead of my 237gb internal c drive or my 2tb hdd drive. and i fixed the mod problem by simply creating a junction link to the folder my sims mods would be located and moving the actual files to the external drive by using linkshell extension, that extension has basically made moving, cloning, transferring and linking files so much easier and i highly recommend you look into it if you haven't already, it's like the best thing i have ever learned about and downloaded in my entirety as a human being and i'm so serious in saying that it's just life saving

I tried the normal way and the one you showed in the video, no differences in the size, 4.7gb to 4.2gb for normal and best compression
It wouldn't let me compress because it said there were no files...
I converted the RAR into a Zip and wanted to compress the zip but no dice .. 🎲

can we delete the original file after the compression?
Yes you can!
It was helpful
Glad you liked it!
The rar file ended up having a bigger size than the original file itself.
The original file was 9.15 GB, the "compressed" one was 9.17 GB..
Which type of file?
is it video file?
@@TechRelatedTips yes, mp4
You can't compress a MP4 file, only files with code like games, software, and text. You cannot compress a video or photo file because it's already compress based on what the file extension format you are using. MP4 is already compress the video for you
@@robinjaymanarang6109 Thanks I didn't know this, you saved me a lot of time
What is the function of solid archive and lock archive?
Locking important archives can help prevent accidental changes to your archives.
IT DOESN'T WORK FOR VIDEO FILES
for video : th-cam.com/video/2SBMwxg1VXQ/w-d-xo.html
my files size is 22gb , but after compression if I extract those files would it be still 22gb after extraction? would it retain the same quality?
Sir, i have 3gb hand-made notes in my ipad. I worked hard for that, but it's not opening now, and i don't have a pc or laptop too, so can you tell me how to compress files in ipad or tablet ??
What could happen if we don't tick lock archieve box?
because locked archive cannot be modified by winrar.
nothing; he is just a moron; if you archivate it normally or like he did there is no difference at all.
I did the test.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
thankyou sir, im not bot, u really elp me out
not working on my zip files I cant choose the file size so what do you suggest?
so you are trying to compress zip files with winrar?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but if my sd card is formatted to fat32 would I use WinRAR x64 (64 bit) 6.11 or would I use WinRAR x86 (31 bit) 6.11?
NO Issue :)
followed instructions~ ended up with chicken curry instead..=\

Tech Rrlated Tips,
So Tell me Should i follow the exact steps?
My contents are only Photos.
The folder is having nearly 200 photos and the Folder size is 2.5 GB .
Am using Win Rar and tell me now
yes it will reduce the size. for images I would recommend this th-cam.com/video/Q7wGNpVyZck/w-d-xo.html
@@TechRelatedTips thats cool either way! But what if i wish to compress all the images simultaneously cause there are 200+ photos, and it would be lot of work if its done individually with every single photo.
Am kind of smart like lil bit of knowledge in computer but have less ideas when it comes to compression,
Plz reply atleast in shortcut also how to compress this photo folder to small zip size which will be suitable to send with email
@@rudraprasad633 yes you can try to compress here and see the result, otherwise there is the the option where you can upload multiple images to compress (in the link i shared above)
In your comments i have seen ki you are saying people to compress videos via Handbrake tool, but i wanted to compress a 17gb folder having a course, thus many videos are there in the folder, i dont wanna compress one by one, should i use above method, if yes, should i make any tweaks in settings??
actually to full compress videos its recommended to use use video compression software like HandBrake. Problem with compressing such folders is that the videos are downloaded from internet and are already compressed, so you won't see any significant difference in size.
So, if you want to fully optimize then go for handbrake, otherwise you can try this . it will reduce the size of folder if the videos inside are already not compressed. Regards.
Do it affect the file in any ways?
this compression is about 50% but how we can compress file 75% less than Original??
what type of files you are trying to compress? video?
Wow thanks i got a folder before compression 94GB after compression 90GB very useless
Would the dictionary size option be the same if you're trying to compress a folder that is 127gb large? Or would I have to change the dictionary size to match it?
No need to change!!!
Thank you
You're welcome :)
Can i delete the older non rar file to access the rar files anytime?
yes you can, if you have that folder compressed in rar file then you can delete the original file.
Is it same for compress large 50 GB file. I wonder atleast compress 50% atleast. .. but it goes like 97% so it's wasting of time it will not not reduce to 50% ..
I really wants to know about setting for compress ratio .
type of file you were trying to compress? is t a video file?
Thank you so much for this. Is there a limit to the size that can be compressed?
Not that I know of
can you do this twice or multiple times to make it even smaller?
My laptop is 32 bit but I want to install 64 bit can I compress the file and install it
No my friend.
@@TechRelatedTips so how can I download it
@@techwithrsr9763 first you have to install 64-bit version of windows then download it.
@@techwithrsr9763 winrar 32-bit version will work for you
Why my compressed file and original file are having same size
type of file you are trying to compress?
