WinZip 11.0

DOWNLOAD:

WinZip, the original and most popular compression utility for Windows, is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that quickly zips and unzips your files to conserve disk space and greatly reduce e-mail transmission time. WinZip 11.0 is available
as Standard or Pro.

WinZip 11.0 Pro adds expanded data backup functionality and includes a new internal image viewer that allows you to browse through multiple images within the Zip file.

Basic Image Navigation Support:

Both Standard and Pro include features that make it easier to organize your digital image files. With WinZip 11.0, you can:

View Thumbnails within WinZip Without Launching Separate Application
If you have any images in a Zip file, you can now browse through them viewing the thumbnails without first extracting the images from the Zip file. This makes it a lot easier and quicker to work with images in Zip files.

View Full-Size Images with WinZip's New Image Viewer - PRO ONLY
If you need a closer look, sometimes a thumbnail just won't do. Now you can view images without manually extracting the image from the Zip file.

Other Changes in WinZip 11.0:

Both Standard and Pro include features that make it easier to organize your digital image files. With WinZip 11.0, you can:

Zip and E-Mail Directly from WinZip's File Menu

Send to FTP or CD/DVD - PRO ONLY
With WinZip 11.0 Pro, you can extend the benefit of our new "send to" feature with the ability to send to a remote FTP server and/or burn directly to CD/DVD.

Extended Time Stamps
WinZip 11.0 now uses NTFS time stamps (vs. DOS time). This allows for greater time stamp granularity/accuracy, and the use of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) helps assure clarity when sharing Zip files outside of your local time zone. This is particularly useful with Zip data backups.
