WINZIP 10 ARCHIVE
With these files added it would be enough for us to stop now and save our new compressed file should we want to, however, the real power in WinZip comes from the many additional options we have to further compress, secure and otherwise optimise our archive file. When any new files are added via this method we automatically get a summary of how many files were copied across, their size and the potential space saving once they have been compressed. In this section I will look at how we can make use of WinZip to compress files, this also includes looking at some of the advanced options on offer to help also secure and share any compressed files made in the process.Īs can be seen above, when opening the WinZip application up for the first we are greeted by the app itself and a space in the middle of the window where we can begin dragging and dropping any files to add to out new ZIP file. One of the main features of WinZip is, of course, creating compressed files.
WINZIP 10 REGISTRATION
With the start-up info and registration forms out of the way the application itself will now be ready to use! Creating ZIP files
WINZIP 10 SOFTWARE
Once fully installed and run for the first time we will be greeted by a welcome screen, this screen will provide tips on using the application as well as the ability to (optionally) register the software (you can use the 21 day trial without any form of registration required). Very little user intervention is required during the install, a couple of clicks and then the installer will go about installing and configuring everything itself. At only 995KB the installer can be downloaded and set running with very little waiting around, it did, however, then proceed to download a further 54.05MB during my own install. Installing WinZip 25 begins by heading over to the WinZip website where a 21 day free trial version can be downloaded.

WINZIP 10 PDF
This version also has functionality for supporting flatbed scanners and allowing multi-page PDF documents to be created from multi-page document scans.īackup and automation are two big areas in which the Pro version of WinZip is really set aside form the Standard version, not only do we now have options to backup files to or from the cloud or CD/DVD/Blu-ray but we can also make use of an advanced job wizard which makes processing such automated tasks as easy as possible.

The Pro version also features tools allowing PDF files to be automatically signed, merged and multiple PDFs combined into a single file. With a few additional file management and sharing features aside, the real difference provided in the Pro version of WinZip comes from the advanced PDF management and file backup functionality which both help the Pro version go over and above what is available in the Standard version. The Pro version of WinZip does take things a little bit further by providing more file management functionality (for example setting expiry dates on ZIP files and providing more file preview options) as well as also providing more scanning and sharing features from within the application also. Starting with the Standard version we see all of the core features of WinZip available, this includes everything relating to compressing and decompressing files and in-turn, most things relating to the management, encryption and sharing of files. WinZip 25 Standard vs Proīefore getting into using the software I want to compare the two versions of WinZip which are available, these are WinZip Standard and WinZip Pro (a third “Enterprise” version is also available but this is aimed more at corporations and not individual users so I will be omitting this from my review). Once installed I will be looking at the core features of WinZip 25 itself and evaluating how well it works as a file archiving solution. In this section of the review I will be looking at WinZip 25 in more detail, I will start by looking at the different versions of WinZip which are available before moving onto the installation process.
