the best zip

[carlosrafa]

Hello, there,
Hello, I need to compress a large file, these files are scanned images that I need them in high resolution, but their size does not exceed 2 MB, to send them by email. One question, what is the best compressor? How do I manage it to achieve the maximum compression? Thank you very much for your help. Bye

P.D. I hope I am in the right forum.

You seem to have specific requirements. Winrar, 7zip...which ones have you tried?

Bandizip is free and has a pretty interface if you are in to that. Otherwise, 7zip like everyone else stated.
