WinZip is one of the original and most popular compression utility for Windows.
This shareware/freeware package is designed as a powerful and easy-to-use tool that can
quickly compress (zip) and decompress (unzip) a group of files or a tree of directories
into a single file with the extension .zip to conserve disk space. This can greatly reduce
the storage requirements for archiving, and also reduce the download and transmission time.
Later versions of WinZip offer improved compression technology that create even smaller Zip
files. Typical compression ratio of 5-to-1 or greater can be easily achieved for archives
having both binary and readable text contents. This archiving tool uses Windows Explorer-style
interface which makes working with complex, multi-folder Zip files a relatively
straightforward task.
All downloaded packages from this site are compressed and stored as WinZip archives.
To get the latest version of this archiving tool, visit the
WinZip site. For your convenience,
you can download and use previous freeware/shareware versions of this tool (
