Introducing WinZip 15.5

WinZip is the world’s most popular file compression software with over 20 years experience as the leader in the file compression industry. No other file compression utility offers such an innovative and easy-to-use feature set! Save time, conserve space, and improve productivity with WinZip!

WinZip 15.5 introduces new functionality that makes it even easier to compress files, encrypt confidential information, share files, and back up important data. With powerful new algorithms for substantially faster compression, streamlined processes, improved tools, and additional enterprise support, this release represents the very best in WinZip technology!

• 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!

Building on WinZip 15's impressive file compression performance, WinZip 15.5 introduces new algorithms that take full advantage of available hardware. As a result, WinZip's zip engine can compress files up to twice as fast!

With easy tools and drag-and-drop functionality, WinZip helps you create compressed files in the following formats: Zip, LHA, and Zipx (our smallest compressed 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.

• Encrypt Files

Along with state-of-the-art file compression and decompression, WinZip 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 prying eyes, making them ideal for sharing!

Share files swiftly, safely, and seamlessly! WinZip's 'Zip and E-mail' tools allow you to zip, encrypt, and email a file directly from the WinZip window, all without having to open any other applications. WinZip provides extensive support for most email and webmail services—once configured, you can zip and email files using virtually any email address! WinZip even includes an image resizer tool that allows you to resize, compress, and email a set of images in one easy step.

• Back Up Files

WinZip Pro takes file compression to the next level with an automated data backup facility that helps you prevent data loss. Back up your desktop, documents, pictures, email, etc. so that you never lose a thing!
