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

      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.

      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.
