PowerZip

PowerZip is a file compression and security program that allows you to easily unzip downloads, create your own Zip files, and password-protect confidential documents. With its user-friendly Compression and Extraction Wizards, advanced features, and pop-up tooltips, working with archives (such as Zip files) is made quick and easy.

PowerZip's encryption options provide extra security, offering 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption to allow safe storage of confidential files and documents, or sending them through insecure channels such as email. In addition, PowerZip supports two new compression methods (Deflate64 and BWT) to provide a higher level of compression, while still being compatible with other Zip programs.

PowerZip adds itself to the Windows Explorer right-click menu, allowing you to perform common compression tasks (such as zipping, unzipping, encryption, and splitting) directly from Windows Explorer or My Computer. Additionally, PowerZip supports 12 types of archives, including Zip, Cab, Tar, Bz2, Gz, Arj, and Ha archives.

If you need to automate routine compression tasks such as daily backups, PowerZip also allows you to record Macro Files to repeat the compression or extraction task with a simple double-click. You can even run these Macro Files as part of an automated script.

Finally, if you need to distribute large files to friends, colleagues, or customers who may not have a Zip program, PowerZip allows you to create a self-extracting archive that can be unzipped without the need for a compression program. Overall, PowerZip is an outstanding tool for anyone needing a reliable and secure compression and security program.
