WinZip由WinZip Computing开发，以前称为Nico Mak Computing。Corel Corporation拥有WinZip Computing，它用于为Windows、iOS、macOS 和Android归档和压缩文件。您可以以Zip 文件^{(Zip file)}格式存档文件，也可以使用此工具解压缩它们。此外，您可以查看 .zip 格式的压缩文件。在本指南中，我们将讨论：什么是 WinZip、^{(What is WinZip,)} WinZip 的用途^{(What is WinZip used for,)}以及如何使用 WinZip^{(How to use WinZip)}。所以，继续阅读！

什么是 WinZip？^{(What is WinZip? )}

在这个基于 Windows 的程序的帮助下，所有文件都可以用.zip 格式^{( .zip format)}打开和压缩。您可以使用它来：

• 访问^(Access)著名的文件压缩^{(file compression)}格式，如BinHex (.hqx)、cabinet (.cab)、Unix compress、tar 和 gzip^{(BinHex (.hqx), cabinet (.cab), Unix compress, tar, & gzip)}。
• 打开很少使用的文件格式，如ARJ、ARC 和 LZH^{(ARJ, ARC, & LZH)}，尽管它需要额外的程序才能这样做。
• 压缩文件^{(Compress files)}，因为电子邮件附件的文件大小^{(file size)}有限。此外，在需要时解压缩这些文件。
•  ^{(Store, maintain, & access files)}在系统、云和网络服务（如Google Drive、Dropbox、OneDrive等）上^(OneDrive)存储、维护和访问文件。

WinZip 用于什么？
^{(What Is WinZip Used For? )}

诱使用户选择该软件的原因有很多，例如：

• 使用该软件将在很大程度上减少磁盘空间的使用，因为压缩文件会^{(reduce disk space usage)}减小文件大小^{(file size)}。
• 传输小文件会减少传输过程中的带宽消耗^{(reduce bandwidth consumption during transmission)}，因此传输速度^{(transfer speed)}会自动提高。
• 您可以压缩大文件并共享^{( zip large files & share)}它们，而不必担心它们因文件大小限制而反弹。
• 维护一大组文件可能看起来杂乱无章，如果您使用该软件将它们压缩在一起，则会获得一个干净、有组织的结构^{(clean, organized structure)}。
• 借助此软件，您可以解压缩特定文件^{(unzip a particular file)}，而不是解压缩整个压缩文件夹。
• 您可以直接从压缩文件夹中打开、更改和保存文件，而无需解压缩。^{(open, make changes & save the file directly)}
• 您还可以使用 WinZip Pro 版本备份重要文件。^{(backup important files)}
• 该软件主要因其安全性和隐私功能^{(security & privacy features)}而受到青睐。高级加密标准^{(Advanced Encryption Standard)}将为您正在访问的所有文件和文件夹提供额外的安全性。

WinZip 的高级功能^{(Advanced Features of WinZip)}

现在您知道了WinZip的用途，让我们了解一下该软件支持的功能：

• 不间断集成——^{(Uninterrupted Integration – )}无缝集成^{(Seamless integration)}服务在我的电脑和文件资源管理器^{(My computer & File Explorer)}之间进行流式传输。这意味着您可以在它们之间拖放文件，而不是离开文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}。此外，您可以在文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}中压缩和解压缩文件，而不会受到任何干扰。
• 网络支持——^{(Network Support – )}它支持多种互联网文件格式，如XXencode、TAR、UUencode和MIME。您还可以享受WinZip Internet Browser Support Add-on，通过它您可以通过单击下载和打开档案。此插件^(Add-on)可免费下载，并可在Microsoft Internet Explorer和Netscape Navigator中访问。
• 自动安装 -^{(Automatic Installation –)}如果您使用 WinZip安装 zip 格式的文件^{(installation files in zip format)}，所有安装文件将被解压缩，安装程序^{(installation program)}将运行。此外，在安装过程^{(installation process)}结束时，临时文件也会被清除。
• WinZip 向导 –^{(The WinZip Wizard – )}这是该软件界面^{(software interface)}中包含的一项可选功能，用于简化压缩、解压缩或在 zip 文件中安装软件的过程。在向导界面^{(Wizard Interface)}的帮助下，使用 zip 文件的过程变得更加容易。但是，如果您想使用 WinZip 的附加功能，^(WinZip)那么WinZip 经典界面^{(WinZip Classic Interface )}将适合您。
• 分类 Zip 文件夹 -^{(Categorize Zip Folders – )}您可以将 zip 文件夹组织在多个类别下，以便方便地对文件进行排序和定位。这些文件可以按日期排序，无论它们来自何处或何时保存或打开。最喜欢的 Zip 文件夹^{(Favorite Zip folder )}将所有其他文件夹的内容视为一个文件夹。此功能与标准的“打开存档”对话框^{(Open Archive dialog)}形成鲜明对比，后者的作用正好相反。虽然，您也可以使用搜索选项^{(search option)}快速查找文件。
• 自行解压缩的文件-^{(Files That Unzip Themselves –)}您还可以创建可在需要时自行解压缩的文件。这可以通过名为WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition^{(WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition)}的非凡功能实现。使用此版本压缩和发送 .zip 文件给收件人。这些文件在收到后会自行解压缩以便于访问。
• 病毒扫描程序支持——^{(Virus Scanner Support –)}一些第三方防病毒工具阻止压缩工具将它们视为威胁。WinZip的病毒扫描程序支持^{(Virus Scanner Support)}确保它不会被任何防病毒程序中断。

它是免费的吗？^{(Is It Free?)}

该软件仅在评估期内免费下载^{(free to download only for the evaluation period)}。这就像试用版^{(trial version)}，您可以在购买之前通过探索其功能来尝试并了解如何使用WinZip 。评估期^{(evaluation period)}结束后，您必须购买 WinZip 许可证^{(buy a WinZip license)}才能继续使用它。如果您不想购买该软件，建议您从系统中删除该软件。

Corel Corporation owns WinZip Computing, and it is used to archive and compress files for Windows, iOS, macOS, and Android. You can archive files in Zip file format, and you can also unzip them using this tool. Furthermore, you can view compressed files that are in .zip format. In this guide, we will discuss: What is WinZip, What is WinZip used for, and How to use WinZip. So, continue reading!

What is WinZip?

All files can be opened with and compressed in .zip format with the help of this Windows-based program. You can use it to:

• Access famous file compression formats like BinHex (.hqx), cabinet (.cab), Unix compress, tar, & gzip.
• Open rarely used file formats like ARJ, ARC, & LZH, though it needs additional programs to do so.
• Compress files since the file size is limited for email attachments. Also, unzip these, when needed.
•  Store, maintain, & access files on the system, cloud, and network services like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and others.

What Is WinZip Used For?

There are many reasons that induce users to choose this software, such as:

• Using this software will reduce disk space usage to a great extent as compressing files will lower the file size.
• Transferring files that are small in size will reduce bandwidth consumption during transmission, and thus, the transfer speed will increase automatically.
• You can zip large files & share them without worrying about them bouncing back due to file size limits.
• Maintaining a large group of files may look unorganized, and if you zip them together using the software, a clean, organized structure is obtained.
• With the help of this software, you can unzip a particular file instead of unzipping the entire compressed folder.
• You can open, make changes & save the file directly from the zipped folder, without unzipping it.
• You can also backup important files by using WinZip Pro version.
• The software is mainly preferred for its security & privacy features. The Advanced Encryption Standard will offer additional security for all the files and folders you are accessing.

Advanced Features of WinZip

Now that you know what is WinZip used for, let us learn about the features supported by this software:

• Uninterrupted Integration – Seamless integration service is streamed between My computer & File Explorer. This means you can drag and drop the files between them instead of leaving the File Explorer. Also, you may zip and unzip the files within File Explorer, without any interruptions.
• Network Support – It supports several internet files formats like XXencode, TAR, UUencode, and MIME. You may also enjoy WinZip Internet Browser Support Add-on through which you can download and open the archives with a single click. This Add-on is free to download and is accessible in Microsoft Internet Explorer as well as Netscape Navigator.
• Automatic Installation – If you use WinZip for installation files in zip format, all setup files will be unzipped, and the installation program will run. Moreover, at the end of the installation process, temporary files are also cleared.
• The WinZip Wizard – This is an optional feature included in this software interface to simplify the process of zipping, unzipping, or installing the software in zip files. With the help of the Wizard Interface, the process of using zip files becomes easier. However, if you want to use additional features of WinZip, then WinZip Classic Interface will be apt for you.
• Categorize Zip Folders – You can organize zip folders under several categories to sort and locate files conveniently. These files can be sorted by date, irrespective of where they came from or when they were saved or opened. Favorite Zip folder considers the contents of all other folders like they constitute a single folder. This feature contrasts with the standard Open Archive dialog box, which does the exact opposite. Although, you can also use the search option to find files quickly.
• Files That Unzip Themselves – You can also create files that can unzip themselves when needed. This is possible through an extraordinary feature called WinZip Self-Extractor Personal Edition. Use this edition to compress & send .zip files to the recipient. These files, once received, unzip themselves for easier access.
