WinZip — самая первая и одна из самых популярных утилит сжатия данных для операционных систем Windows. Это мощный и простой в использовании инструмент, с помощью которого можно быстро выполнить сжатие файлов или вернуть их в исходное состояние, чтобы сэкономить место на диске и значительно сократить время передачи сообщений электронной почты. Работает с CAB, TAR, gzip, UUencode, XXencode, BinHex, и MIME форматами, и, конечно же, с ZIP. Кроме этого, с помощью внешних программ может работать с файлами ARJ, LZH и ARC. Возможности программы включают представление изображений в виде пиктограмм и автоматический выбор метода сжатия, а также улучшенное сжатие аудиофайлов (WAV) и поддержку открытия BZ2 и RAR-файлов. В программе дополнительно доступна функция расширенного резервирования и новое встроенное средство просмотра изображений, с помощью которого можно просматривать несколько изображений в Zip-файле.

WinZip® is the world's most popular Windows Zip utility for file compression, file sharing, file encryption, and data backup. No other file compression utility is as easy to use or offers such a comprehensive and innovative feature set to help you save time, conserve space, and improve productivity. 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!

In addition to state-of-the-art file compression, WinZip offers strong AES encryption for securing sensitive data, the ability to bundle files into convenient, compressed packages, and an automated data backup facility to prevent data loss. WinZip creates Zip, LHA, and Zipx files — the smallest Zip files ever — and it opens Zip, Zipx, RAR, 7Z, BZ2, CAB, JAR, IMG, and most other compressed file types.

WinZip even supports photo and image compression. Now you can compress your digital photographs and graphic images by 20 to 25% with no loss of photo quality or data integrity. This lets you send pictures faster and fit more on your flash drive, CD/DVD, or hard disc than ever before.
