WinZip, the original and one of the most popular compression utility for Windows, is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that quickly zips and unzips your files to conserve disk space and greatly reduce e-mail transmission time. WinZip is available as Standard or Pro. With the new WinZip, you can quickly and securely zip and unzip files to conserve storage space, speed up e-mail transmission, and reduce download times. State-of-the-art file compression, strong AES encryption, compatibility with more compression formats, and new intuitive photo (JPG) and audio (MP3) compression, make WinZip the complete compression and archiving solution. Compress MP3 files by 15 - 20% on average. Reduce JPEG image files by 20 - 25% with no loss of photo quality or data integrity.
Open and extract Zipx, RAR, 7Z, LHA, BZ2, IMG, ISO and all other major compression file formats. Open more files types as a Zip, including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, XPS, ODT, ODS, ODP, ODG,WMZ, WSZ, YFS, XPI, XAP, CRX, EPUB, and C4Z. Open CAB, Zip and Zip 2.0 Methods. Convert other major compressed file formats to Zip format. Apply 'Best Compression' method to maximize efficiency automatically based on file type.
Compress using BZip2, LZMA, PPMD and Enhanced Deflate methods. Apply encryption and conversion options, including PDF conversion, watermarking and photo resizing, before, during or after creating your zip.
Take advantage of hardware support in certain Intel-based computers for even faster AES encryption. Administrative lockdown of encryption methods and password policies. Check 'Encrypt' to password protect your files using banking-level encryption and keep them completely secure. Secure sensitive data with strong, FIPS-197 certified AES encryption (128- and 256-bit). Auto-wipe ('shred') temporarily extracted copies of encrypted files using the U.S. Department of Defense standard (DoD 5220.22-M) to prevent misuse. Encrypt and decrypt confidential files and email attachments.
WinZip is the most trusted way to work with compressed files. No other compression utility is as easy-to-use or offers the comprehensive and productivity-enhancing approach that has made WinZip the gold standard for file-compression tools.
Building on the favorite features of a worldwide base of several million users, WinZip adds new features for image compression and management, support for new compression methods, improved compression performance, support for additional archive formats, and more. Users can work faster, smarter, and safer.
Zipx Files Deliver Advanced Compression. .Zipx files WinZip introduces the new extended Zip file (.zipx), the next step in the evolution of the Zip file format. By using the most recent compression methods to create .Zipx files, WinZip creates WinZip's smallest Zip files to date. The new .zipx file extension also makes it easier to share highly compressed files with others by making it clear that the file was created using an advanced compression method and that WinZip or another compatible compression utility is required to open the file. Of course users can also still create “Legacy Zip 2.0” compressed files with WinZip (resulting in a .zip file extension) by changing the compression method on a case by case basis or by changing the default compression method.
Photo Compression, Management and Sharing. Resize images on the fly. Additionally, the Zip and E-Mail functions have been enhanced in WinZip to allow users to take advantage of the image resize feature in WinZip. Users can quickly and easily resize images in a zipped attachment without altering the original in any way. Resizing images is useful when the recipient does not need the full quality or size of the original. Resizing images before compressing them can substantially reduce the attachment size, reduce upload and download times for your e-mails, and help ensure that you don’t exceed e-mail attachment size limitations.
Access and manage files on your PC, network and clouds. Connect to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and more.
MP3 Compression. Keep more music on your phone or on a cloud service, or share playlists more easily, with enhanced MP3 compression. WinZip 21 compresses your MP3 files by 15 – 20% on average with no loss in quality thanks to the enhanced Zipx format.
Zip files from any location. Easily find your most-used files and folders on your PC, network and clouds in Frequent Folders, which updates dynamically.
Unzip anything. Extract content from the industry's widest selection of compressed file types, including Zip, Zipx, RAR, 7Zip, BZ2, LHA/LZH, VHD/VDMK, XZ and many more. When extracting encrypted files, WinZip auto-wipes all temporarily extracted copies to prevent misuse.
