WinZip

New Features

New in WinZip Version 16

ZipSend

ZipSend is a new file delivery web service for WinZip that makes it easy to zip and send files up to 2GB in size without having to email them. It features seamless integration with WinZip where WinZip will email your recipients with a link to the file online. WinZip stores your ZipSend login details so you don't need to login each time and you can customise when ZipSend gets applied.

ZipShare

WinZip 16 gives you easy access to ZipShare - WinZip's new Facebook service. Easily upload and post Zip files of up to 20MB to Facebook, directly from the WinZip window.

Enhanced Zip engine for maximum performance

A new 64-bit zip engine takes full advantage of your system for maximum zipping performance.

Additional file format support

An enhanced preview tool allows you to browse and edit the contents of other compression file types (7Z, RAR, etc.) without having to extract the files first. Plus new file conversion capabilities let you convert other file types into the Zip format.

Blu-ray support

Zip and write files to Blu-ray Disc for maximum storage capacity.

System scanner

WinZip now includes a built-in diagnostic tool that will scan your system's performance and diagnose disk performance, space usage and Windows registry-related issues.

Benefits

Save Space

WinZip's compression produces smaller Zip files than the standard Windows Zip Utility, saving your hard drive space and bandwidth. Additionally the new .zipx file format can compress files even further.

Save Time

WinZip integrates into Windows Explorer, providing its powerful functionality within a few clicks. WinZip Professional contains task automation capabilities including automatically uploading to FTP or burning to disk and automatically emailing Zip and log files on WinZip job completion making short work of backing up important data.

Easy to Use

WinZip includes numerous features to simplify the use of the application including a variety of different user interfaces, the ability to create self extracting .zip files for those without WinZip and Smart View which logically structures the display of files within a .zip.

Protect Data

WinZip supports AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, which is a highly secure encryption algorithm to protect your sensitive data. System Administrators can specify password policies to configure password complexity requirements and if they choose, restrict or deny access to WinZip's encryption functionality for end users.

Manage Photos easily

WinZip can compress your photos (including JPEG files) and add them to an archive or directly to an email. Photos can then easily be resized whilst leaving the original pictures unchanged. In addition, the Professional edition can compress files from supported digital cameras directly to a .zip, auto rotate photos and show, rotate, resize or delete photos without having to extract them from the .zip.
