WinZip is the world’s most popular file compression software with
 over 20 years experience as the leader in the industry. No other file 
compression utility offers such an innovative and easy-to-use feature 
set! Save time, conserve space, and share more with WinZip!
Compress Files:
· With WinZip, you can instantly compress files to conserve storage 
space, send swifter emails, and decrease file upload/download times. Zip
 documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, presentations, you name it!
· WinZip introduces a versatile new architecture to support significant 
performance enhancements, giving additional power and agility to your 
file compression tasks!
· With easy tools and drag-and-drop functionality, WinZip helps you 
create compressed files in the following formats: Zip, LHA, and Zipx 
(our smallest Zip file to date). Not sure which format to use? Let 
WinZip select the best compression method to maximize efficiency! You 
can even create self-extracting Zip files, which are ideal for 
distribution to recipients who may not own WinZip.
· WinZip also provides advanced photo and image compression. With a 
single click, you can compress your digital photographs and graphic 
images by 20-25% with no loss of quality or data integrity. This lets 
you send files faster and fit more on your flash drive, CD/DVD, or hard 
disk.
Decompress Files:
· In addition to compressing files, WinZip instantly opens and extracts 
content from the industry's widest selection of compressed file types, 
including Zip, Zipx, RAR, 7Z, BZ2, LHA, CAB, IMG, ISO, and most other 
file archive formats.
Encrypt Files:
· Along with state-of-the-art file compression and decompression, WinZip
 also offers strong AES encryption to help you secure sensitive data 
from unauthorized access. Encrypt and password-protect your files as you
 zip them, all in one easy step! You can even define your own password 
policies that WinZip will enforce for each file you encrypt.
· As an added security measure, WinZip also auto-wipes or "shreds" 
temporarily extracted copies of encrypted files using the U.S. 
Department of Defense standard (DoD 5220.22-M). This automatic action 
prevents protected files from being recovered and misused.
Share Files:
· Use WinZip to organize and compress your data into convenient, logical
 groups that are perfect for sharing! Smaller file sizes translate to 
faster uploading/downloading times and hassle-free email attachments 
that don't clog email servers. Using WinZip's powerful encryption 
capabilities, you can also password-protect compressed files to prevent 
third parties from gaining unwanted access to your data, making them 
ideal for sharing!
· WinZip includes convenient Zip and E-mail tools so that you can zip, 
encrypt, and email a file directly from the WinZip window without having
 to open any other applications. This allows you to work without 
interruption and share files swiftly, safely, and seamlessly! WinZip 15 
provides extensive support for most email and webmail applications—once 
configured, you can zip and email files from virtually any email 
address! In addition, WinZip 15's Zip and Email function includes an 
image resizer that allows you to resize, zip, and email a set of images 
in one easy step!
Back Up Files:
· WinZip takes full advantage of its file compression technology with an
 automated data backup facility that helps you prevent data loss. Backup
 your desktop, documents, pictures, email, etc. using pre-defined jobs 
or by creating custom backup jobs using WinZip's simple wizard. You can 
set WinZip to backup selected data files, and you can schedule those 
backups to run automatically and unattended. You can also backup data to
 a CD/DVD or network drive, email your backups off site from virtually 
any email address, or upload your backups to an off-site server using 
the built-in WinZip FTP client. WinZip will even send you automated 
email notifications upon job completion!
