WinZip today introduces WinZip® 19 and WinZip® 19 Pro, powerful file sharing applications that offer an entirely new way to manage all your files - whether they're in the cloud or on your system - while making it simple to protect your privacy and share across email, cloud accounts and more. Redesigned to offer an optimized and highly visual experience, WinZip 19 and WinZip 19 Pro are more responsive and easier to use than ever. With the new WinZip 19, unified local, network and cloud file management, powerful privacy protection, and easy sharing have finally come together in a single app for Windows.

"It's amazing to have so many cloud storage options for saving our files, but all this storage creates file management headaches and serious privacy issues too. Every day seems to bring another high-profile story about cloud accounts hacked and data stolen. It's almost impossible to know where your files are really being stored and if they're protected," said Patrick Nichols, president of WinZip. "With the new WinZip 19, we're making cloud storage and sharing simple and worry free. One easy-to-use app enables you to add your own powerful encryption to keep your info safe, while also managing all your files and accounts. WinZip 19 lets you take advantage of all the benefits of the cloud for storage and sharing, without the risks."

Boosting productivity with a dramatically optimized user experience, WinZip 19 makes it possible to manage all your files, zip and unzip, and add powerful AES encryption, through a single, unified file-sharing environment.

• New! Centralized file management: Be more productive than ever with the new file management features in WinZip 19. Browse and select local, network or cloud files easily without having to use multiple apps and browsers to hunt through folders or search through multiple cloud services. Move, delete and rename files in the cloud and between accounts and drives. Protect your privacy in the cloud by encrypting files before and even after they're uploaded. Select saving and sharing options, including cloud services, email, instant messaging and social media-all within the same interface.

• New! Simplified, task-oriented UI: The all-new WinZip user interface features a modern layout that brings enhanced visibility and productivity to everything you do with your files. Access the tools you need when you need them with the dynamic Actions pane. Easily switch between zipping and file management features depending on your desired workflow.

• Enhanced! File Conversion: Now encrypt files, convert to PDF, add watermarks, and resize photos at any point during the zip process. Make decisions on the fly, before, during and after you create your zip file, and choose whether the changes are applied to all the files in the zip or only to the individual files selected.

• Enhanced! ZipShare® integration: When sending large files as email attachments, get direct access to the new www.ZipShare.com file sharing service. Seamlessly email large attachments as Zip files. Track deliveries to know the file was received. Send files up to 50MB free using ZipShare or move up to ZipShare Pro to send up to 2GB.

• New! Touch and high-res-friendly design: WinZip 19 offers support for displays up to 500 DPI and a redesigned UI that features highly visible icons and makes drag-and-drop easy on any screen. Designed to take full advantage of next-generation 2-in-1 computers and devices, WinZip 19 adjusts automatically to give users an optimal experience, whether they're in tablet or notebook mode.

WinZip 19 integrates directly with your cloud storage accounts on Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, MediaFire, SugarSync and CloudMe. Direct support for Twitter, Facebook, Google Talk/Google+ Hangouts, Yahoo! Messenger, and Jabber makes it simple to share files over social media and instant messaging.

WinZip 19 continues to be the industry's leading application to create and unzip Zip and Zipx files and open compressed files including Zip, Zipx, RAR, 7Z and more.
