Compressing files will make them lose quality, but if you're really set on doing this WinRAR is a good program, but it's not free.

Please do not share any files that you have compressed !!

You can get it here:

But still I don't recommend doing this

If they're taking too much room on your computer, get a few memory sticks or external hard drives and put them in there
