WinZip for the Win

Score 9 out of 10

WinZip is an asset to our Web Designer. It has allowed us to unzip massive files containing photos from events. WinZip has also been handy for packing files for distribution. Packing a zip file onto a flash drive makes it more accessible without running out of space or using multiple flash drives to transport files.
  • Unpack a bunch of photos
  • Group PDF's into one file
  • Transport one file instead of a bunch via email
  • The new interface can be a little overwhelming if you are use to the old interface.
I think WinZip is better than any other file-zipping product. You have a lot of options as to how you want to zip files
  • We aren't using free packages that may cause issues with files when they are zipped

We use WinZip to zip and unzip large files. It has helped us immensely with transferring large documents via email and/or adding the files to a flash drive. We use WinZip on a daily basis.
  • Packaging multiple files into one large file
  • Unzipping files that are sent to use from vendors
  • Reduce the size of multiple files.
We had a bunch of files that needed to be sent to a vendor for uploading to a website. WinZip allowed us to zip all the files needed to send to the vendor.
  • Zipping and Unzipping files
  • File encryption
  • WinZip has made it easier for us to FTP multiple files using their product.
