WinZip 17 has recently been released, bringing to the table features that turn it into a central hub for archiving files, sharing them over social media networks or major cloud services.
It can also convert documents to PDF, as well as resize images automatically before archiving in order to reach a more convenient size of the package. Additionally, you can add watermarks to photos and PDFs to protect intellectual property.
The application is available in two editions, Pro, and the above mentioned features are present in both of them (we’re reviewing WinZip Pro). However, you can test the program for a period of 21 days.
As for the differences between the two, the Standard edition falls short of options such as viewing photos with the built-in image viewer, transferring them from supported cameras and iPhones, or the backup features.
Looks are pretty simple but modern, thanks to the ribbon interface that makes getting from one menu to another an easy task.
The basic functionality of the application is to create ZIP archives and to extract data from ZIP, ZIPX, LHA, 7Z, RAR, ISO or CAB packages locally.
However, by integrating with social networking websites (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter), as well as major online storage services (Dropbox, Google Drive and SkyDrive), it extends its archiving options to these, as well. Thus, you can share ZIP files through the supported social networking services or send them to cloud storage. Unzipping archives from the cloud is also possible.
