WinZip is a very well-known compressor used in part because of its power and speed when it comes time to compress and decompress files to create Zip files.
What are Zip files? Zip files are individual files that contain one or more compressed files. They are used to group files and send them by e-mail, to store or download data and software quickly.
WinZip is characterised by the standard Windows interface that lets you select, drag and drop files with the mouse. It is a format all computer users are used to.
WinZip comes with a series of features that make work easy like: thumbnail image view, internal image viewer, automatic selection of the compression method, recording Zip files on CDs or DVDs, WinZip assistant programmer for tasks like sending e-mails automatically, etc.
WinZip supports many compression formats like TAR, BinHex, ARJ and many more.
