You can add compression directly to the image.

Image zip provides no compression, perhaps just allow downloading the actual image
When you download the larabits.zip wallpaper the size is 7.1mb when you decompress the file it is also 7.1 mb.
Perhaps, add some kind of compression or download image directly?

Where is that download and how is it related to this forum?

@Sinnbeck Go to: https://laracasts.com/series/andres-larabits/episodes/27
Then click on the "Download Series Wallpaper" button. Then uncompress the file you will notice it is the same size.

@joshsalway ok I will help by tagging Jeffrey. Otherwise your post will probably never get noticed (this is just a help forum for volunteers)

@joshsalway Zipping doesn’t really do much on images, because common image formats like JPEG and PNG already have compression algorithms to ensure the smallest file size versus quality possible.
Zipping only really works on text data where common letters or runs of letters can be algorithmically substituted. Already-compressed binary data like images don’t make good candidates for Zip compression.
