Why Choose PowerZip?

This is why you should choose PowerZip over our competitors' products:

  • Because it's very easy and convenient to use. PowerZip's intuitive Wizard-driven user interface makes working with archives a snap.
     
  • Because it comes with free technical support. Many of our competitors will charge you for asking for help when you experience problems with their software. This might make you wonder what incentives they have to keep their products fault-free. PowerZip comes with free lifetime technical support via e-mail
     
  • Because you can try it for 45 days free of charge. And if you don't like it, you can just uninstall it and not pay a cent.
     
  • Because at $20* (US) for one copy, you won't need to stretch your budget to buy PowerZip 7. Most of our competitors' products are priced at $29 or more, while delivering only a fraction of PowerZip's features.
     
  • Because PowerZip allows you to record PowerZip Macro Files to automate common compression tasks such as backup. PowerZip Macro Files are quick and easy to record and allow you to repeat the compression (or unzipping) task with a simple double-click. PowerZip Macro Files can also be run as part of an automated script.
     
  • Because you can use PowerZip to encrypt (password-protect) confidential documents and files for storage or communication over insecure channels (such as e-mail). Most Zip programs only support standard Zip 2.0 encryption which is universally considered to be highly insecure (hence the availability of a large numbers of zip "password-recovery" programs which essentially allow you access the encrypted files without knowing the password). While PowerZip still supports standard Zip encryption for backward-compatibility, PowerZip 7 now allows you to encrypt your files with 256-bit AES §, offering a high level of data security.
     
  • Because PowerZip supports more than 12 types of archives so you will be unlikely to find yourself in a situation where you bought a compression program but need to buy another one because you ran into an archive not supported by the program.
     
  • Because PowerZip makes interoperability with Unix / Linux systems easier by allowing you to create and unzip archive formats common under Linux (Tar, Gz, Bz2). PowerZip lets you create a .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file in one go - perfect for when you need to transfer multiple files to a Unix machine.
     
  • Because it's fully customizable - most of PowerZip's user interface features (such as the toolbar, menu bar, the list of items, the compression and extraction wizards, confirmation messages, the viewers, etc.) can be easily customized to suit your needs and tastes.
     
  • Because it supports advanced archive features such as zip comments, split and multi-disk Zip files and multi-part Cab files, storing and restoring path information, including relative paths and much more.
     
  • Because it comes with extensive documentation which explains all of PowerZip's features in detail. And the Welcome Screen should get you up and running with PowerZip in no time.
