What's new

v8.0 [Jun 17, 2020]
NEW! Work faster with improved Zipx Compression.
Experience better compression with the ZSTD method. Compress and decompress files faster, all while achieving better rates than alternatives like DEFLATE and DEFLATE64.
NEW! Get support when you need it for Mac OS Catalina.
WinZip is now updated to operate on Mac OS 10.15. You can count on our support team to solve issues quickly so you can get back to projects faster.
NEW! Customize your WinZip experience with dark mode.
It’s not just a trend— dark mode can prolong the battery on your device and reduce eye strain. WinZip now supports this theme for improved user experience. 
NEW! Boost your workflow with additional file add methods.
In addition to traditional options, you can now choose to:
Freshen — replace only files already in the Zip file with newer files. 
Move — delete files/folders after they are added to the Zip file. 
Update — replace updated files AND add files not already in Zip file.

v2.0
- Full support for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion: WinZip's fast, simple approach to zipping, protecting and sharing files and folders on your Mac now integrates seamlessly with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. WinZip Mac Edition 2's enhanced interface gives an at a glance breakdown of file sizes before and after compression, showing you exactly how much space was saved by zipping.
- In Place Editing: Don't unzip an entire archive just to change one file! WinZip's new 'In Place Editing' feature lets you open and edit files and documents within a Zip file without unzipping them first. Edit zipped documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more within their native applications and then save them back to your zipped folder or archive. When you save your changes, the Zip file is updated with the newest version.
