Its the best and trusted software if you want to compressed any files.I had also use a App on my windows 8.0 laptop. I think its name was mZip. But winzip is far better then it and any other compression software.Very user friendly. easy to use.

From this software you can easily zip and unzip any file. Zipping is great way if you want to send a big file via mail. And it also reduces downloaded time. I had recently downloaded this version after being fed up by mZip app.

This version is very small in size. and also very easy to download.Well I want to give a advice to all the readers, please dont download this software from non trusted downloading sites. as some sites inject malwares with this software and that malware will hijack your laptop and will starts creating problems.

Back to point. This software is very easy to download and very user friendly.And this version is also has image compression features.Now the biggest bad thing about this software is this software is free for only limited period.Free only for first 45 days. Then you have to purchase this software.

Verdict- Best compression software available in market rightnow. very user friendly.

But free only for limited period.

WinZip is a precious s/w specially for person like me who once downloaded many software's and files on his desktop and laptop at his much younger age.Because drastically it lessened space occupied by a software especially when I wrote a file on CD or took on pen drive or even before that had taken on floppy disk.This WinZip is better than WinRar file.

So many times I sent a group of files related to each other so before sending through mail I zipped them and a 10 Mb file delightedly be shrunk to 5 mb only.It helped me a lot.I am grateful, thankful to this lovable s/w.See everyone who can do something more on computer please use this one on computer .

Those who know nothing about computer apart from mailing and checking mails should not require to soil desktop by downloading or installing a valuable s/w like WinZip that is not for them but for those who know more and at least nuances of computer .

Winzip the the best software to club up al the files at a single place.

Winzip reduces file size by 20% and It can be used to optimize the space, prevent fragmentation and the best use is to send E-mails.

When we have multiple images or files we have to upload them one by one when we have to send it by E-mail. We cant just upload a folder to the mail server.

Winzip can be used to club all those file into a single folder which can be sent over the E-mail.

Winzip is a freeware and anyone can download it from internet and take its benefits,

This is the Lifesaver Windows based application if you want to compress your files in case of storage capacity issue. The average ration of compression of Texts file - .TXT is 99%, it means you can compress 100MB .TXT File in just 1MB and upload it anywhere and all it is going to take an MB of storage. It also gives more than 50% compression ration for Microsoft Office Files. mainly .DOC and .DOCS i.e. Microsoft Word File.

Apart from compression it can also split your file as per the our requirement, this is specially useful to send huge log files using email, so we can split our attachment and send it across.

The another feature is my personal favorite which is an Encryption. It can also Encrypt you files by using the most advanced encryption protocol which is impossible to break if properly used.

Overall I would recommend this to everyone.

Well seen the latest Linux Xwindows software? User-friendly interface is the key word besides speed. Though Windows is most popular OS, primarily because of User-friendly interface again. How much more user-friendly can it get, waiting for Windows XP? So Winzip 8.00 (32 bit) is by far the most popular compression utility – again because of….. (you guessed it!).

So the question is, “How much more user-friendly can Winzip get?” Check out the latest update Winzip 8.1 Beta. “Oh beta! Sorry no way – I am not going to try it on my PC”. But let me tell you winzip lovers, that the Beta version is perfectly stable and works just fine. Tip-Top!

THE WINZIP-WINDOWS EXPLORER MARRIAGE: Well the last time around, I mentioned ‘n’ different ways files can be compressed or compressed file be extracted in my article “From 2.4 MB to 360 KB: Just Zip It” on Winzip 8.0. Maintaining all those features, users will come across more enhancements, so much more that the various options are kept in a submenu. When you right-click on the filenames in Windows Explorer there is an option Winzip >. The right-arrow indicates the presence of a submenu. (Remember in the earlier versions we had “add to zip” and “add to {filename.zip}” only). The submenu has several options such as:

• Add to Zip file…: adds the selected items to a new or existing Zip file (through a dialog box). WinZip remains open after the add operation is complete.

• Add to filename.zip: If a single file is right-clicked and this option selected it will create a zip file with the same name as the file but with extension .zip (and in same folder). If multiple files are selected for zipping, it will compress the files in foldername.zip.

• Add to recently used Zip file: This is new option, which opens a submenu listing of recently used Zip files. The selected items are added to the Zip file you pick from the list.

• Open with winzip: Some files are self-extracting exe’s or “.cab” files, which can be executed by double-clicking on it. The contents of such files can also be viewed with winzip. The latest additions to files that can be opened with winzip are Yahoo! Player (.yfs), WinAmp skin files (.wsz), Windows Media Player skin files (.wmz)

• Zip and email: Compresses file and attaches the file to a mail by opening the default email client. This option was present in Winzip 8.0.

• Zip and email plus: This is new addition, which is similar to above but then it permits the filename to be changed and hmmmm…allows password protection (Guys/gals winzip password crackers are available though on the Net).

For compressed files the options change… the options “Extract to here”, “Extract to folder folder-name”, “Extract to here using file names for folders”, “Extract to folder …”, “Create Self-Extractor (.Exe)”. Most users may not like so many options since the pop-up menu (that comes on right-clicking in explorer), since it appears cluttered. Winzip makers realize this and do not force all the options on users. What I mean is that what items should be displayed in the submenu can be configured too (Check in Options – Configuration – Explorer Enhancements)

SPLIT FILES: There are many restrictions imposed by different email services regarding the file size that can be e-mailed. For eg. Yahoo has restriction of 1 MB. Winzip as it is, can reduce file size due to compression. Even then, if the file size is still big? The new version comes with an option to split files. This is not a direct option. Firstly you select many files and zip it. Then you open that zip file using winzip. Then you select Action – Split. It opens a dialog box where user can specify a file name (no extension please) and user can also select file size in bytes, KB, MB (minimum file size allowed is 64 KB). Eg. If I specify file name as “trial” and size as 70 KB, it will split files with extension trial.z01, trial.z02, trial.z03 and so on with the last file trial.zip. The last file will automatically recombine all the files. Also by right-clicking on this last file and selecting extract option it will recombine all the files and extract them. However, there is a compatibility issue here. To open a split file, users necessarily need WinZip 8.1. Another flaw is the two-step approach – open a zip file and then split. (I bet the “Filesplit 2.2” software and “Slice 3.0” does a better job as it creates a batch file in addition to split files. This batch file can be executed by anyone to recombine the files).

WINZIP QUICK PICK TASKBAR TRAY ICON: The new WinZip Quick Pick taskbar tray icon gives user instant access to WinZip (left-click on icon). Right click it to instantly reopen 10 recently used Zip files, access your Favorite Zip Folders, open WinZip help, or start WinZip itself.

EXTRACT MULTIPLE FILES: It is now possible to select multiple zip files in Windows Explorer and extract them simultaneously. There are two options.

a) If files “great.zip” and “tough.zip” are extracted to folder “My Documents” – it will extract the contents of both the files directly in “My Documents”.

b) If files “great.zip” and “tough.zip” are extracted to folder “My Documents” – it will extract the contents of great.zip in “My Documents\Great\” and contents of tough.zip in “My Documents\Tough\”. i.e it will create folders with names same as the filenames.

WINDOWS XP SUPPORT: Now this is something I could not check, cause the support is inherent and not through any setting control and I do not have Windows XP. But Winzip claims to support all the themes for menus, arrows, buttons etc and high-resolution images and icons.

But there is one major flaw. It was pointed out to me by fellow members in my earlier review on Winzip 8.0. The flaw remains even now. What is it? The Zip compression algorithm hasn’t been updated in over a decade plus. Other programs like WinRAR 2.8 and WinACE 2.3 gives higher compression than WinZip 8.1.
