Download WinZip 17.0 build 10283

Corel has released version 17.0 of its archiving utility WinZip. WinZip used to be a popular program on the PC, but with zip support baked into Windows and competition from programs like WinRAR and 7-Zip, its popularity has been on the wane for a while. The program is available in two different versions, namely Standard and Pro. The mutual differences are shown on this page made clear. New in version 17 includes integration with cloud storage services and social media sites, the ability to resize images and convert documents to PDF.

Zip and share to the cloud
Protect your files in the cloud and use less space by zipping them first. WinZip 17 lets you connect to your cloud services, including Google Drive, SkyDrive and Dropbox. Zip before you upload, open zip files saved in the cloud, or select files from the cloud to zip and share.

Manage and share from the cloud
See and organize all your cloud files directly from WinZip 17 even if you use several services. WinZip connects you to your clouds, including Google Drive, SkyDrive and Dropbox, so you can easily get links to your files and share them from your own email.

Zip and share to social media sites
Share any size and type of file to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn with ZipShare, the online app. Just write a message, add your files and post. No additional software required.

Resize images
Instantly resize images to more convenient sharing sizes without using complex image editing software. It makes sharing photo albums a snap!

Convert files to PDF
Turn Microsoft Office documents into PDF files as you zip them with WinZip’s built-in PDF converter. This lets you hide metadata and make your documents read-only for added protection.

Add a watermark
Deter unauthorized copying, add traceability, and protect your photos and files by adding your own custom watermark to images and PDFs.

More intuitive interface
Context-sensitive toolbars change depending on your task, making it easy to find the tools you need for zipping, unzipping, sharing and more.
