How To Compress a 1GB File Into 10MB

To compress a file simply means to decrease the file size without affecting the file contents, and in this post i’ll be explaining how to compress a 1GB file into 10MB, that’s like turning a 4GB file into 40MB.

The major purpose of compressing files is simply to save memory or free up memory on your PC. So, is your PC already filled up and you really want to carve out a reasonable storage space to save more files? At the end of this post you’ll be able to achieve that easily.

How are we going to do this? We will be using an incredible and trusted file compressing software, the KGB Achiver. It’s practically the best file compressor out there.

Here are few things i love about this software: It’s totally free, no charges / Its compression rate is just awesome / You can create a password to protect compressed files / It has a very easy interface. Let’s quickly move into the main job here.
