what’s the archive type with the bext size compression (lowest size after archiving) but that has partial extraction (extracting specific files) ?

      These formats are generally not very compressible by general purpose compression algorithms, as they are already compressed formats themselves, each with a compression algorithm specially tailored to their content type.

      Tar.

      Mostly not joking here – the image and video formats you list are already heavily compressed. You’ll be lucky to get even 1% compression from any format, so you might as well just package them up in an uncompressed archive format.
