Why archives can't be compressed to a size
Archive compression is lossless: nothing inside is changed or thrown away, so how small an archive gets depends entirely on its contents. Text, code and uncompressed files shrink well; photos, videos and other archives barely change. To make those smaller, compress them individually first, for example with the image or video compressor.
