  • precomp-cpp

    Precomp, C++ version - further compress already compressed files

  • https://github.com/schnaader/precomp-cpp Maybe some tools posted in https://encode.su/threads/1399-reflate-a-new-universal-deflate-recompressor Maybe something has to be developed specifically for your task.

  • XADMaster

    Objective-C library for archive and file unarchiving and extraction

  • Rar would compress them with plain LZ, there's nothing special for jpegs there. However Winzip has a special codec for jpegs - that could be a problem. https://github.com/MacPaw/XADMaster/tree/master/WinZipJPEG

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • xdelta

    open-source binary diff, delta/differential compression tools, VCDIFF/RFC 3284 delta compression

  • HDiffPatch

    a C\C++ library and command-line tools for Diff & Patch between binary files or directories(folder); cross-platform; runs fast; create small delta/differential; support large files and limit memory requires when diff & patch.

  • I'd suggest to just try other diff programs, eg. https://github.com/sisong/HDiffPatch
