Instead of archiving collections of images in tar or zip files, img2pdf losslessly packs images into PDF files. This makes them really, really easy to browse without unpacking or archive-mounting them.

The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)
5 projects | /r/DataHoarder | 20 Jun 2022

archivemount can mount into the filesystem any archive format that libarchive supports, which is several: zip, rar, tar, cpio, ISO9660, 7-Zip, ar, lha/lzh, Microsoft CAB, mtree, pax, shar, WARC, xar.

For bundling, my main constraint is that archivemount or gio mount archive:// can seek within the archive: so tar and zip are fine, but tar.gz is not. Squashfs also works well.
