WinZip can rightfully be considered one of the most widespread programs, whose main task is to archive data as well as extract it from archives. The abundance of tools for work will satisfy even professionals, but beginners won't be left idle. The intuitively understandable interface makes working with the program as productive and easy as possible.
Archive files *.rar, *.7z, *.gz, *.zipx, *.z02, *.bz2, *.gzip, *.z;WinZip works with most archive formats:
- Disk image files *.iso, *.img;
- Text archive files *.diz;
- Encoded files *.hqx;
- *.tar files.
In general terms, WinZip possesses absolutely all the functions characteristic of standard data archiving software. Like most archivers, this utility is capable of creating self-extracting archives. Their essence boils down to the fact that even if a person who has access to your archive does not have the corresponding program to extract data from it, the self-extracting archive, after a double click, will begin automatic file extraction, regardless of whether a similar program is installed or not.
In case of concern for the safety of important data, WinZip offers the user to resort to one of the encryption algorithms, namely 128-AES, 256-AES.
The program has virtually no drawbacks; the only thing that can be considered one is the impossibility of simultaneously archiving/unarchiving multiple files at the same time. In other archivers, this tool is already integrated by default. Nevertheless, if you try, you can make WinZip perform batch operations, but to do so you will need to launch it manually, directly from the system menu by resorting to the use of "hot" keys.
Separately, it is worth noting the WinZip help center; its comprehensive answers to popular questions, as well as instructions, are worthy of respect. If the desired information is still not found in the built-in hint system, then feel free to visit the developer's website; in the articles you will certainly find what you were looking for.
The WinZip archiver is one of the best utilities presented on the modern software market, allowing you to save time and space on your hard disk or flash drive.
