With an enhanced interface designed for Retina displays, the new WinZip Mac 5 boosts productivity by making it even easier to accomplish all your file sharing tasks:

• New! Easily share links to files in the cloud: WinZip Mac 5 automatically generates a link when you upload your zip file to a cloud service that can be easily pasted into other apps, such as Skype, for quick sharing.
• New! Apply to all files in your Zip: Encrypt files and/or resize images in a Zip file without having to manually unzip and then zip them back up.
• New! Resize images with more resize options: Resize images any time you create a Zip file, not just when emailing. Now choose from two additional options for resizing images: X-Large (1920 x 1536) and XX-Large (2880 x 2304).

"Whether you're using your MacBook, iPhone or iPad, WinZip apps are the ideal choice for protecting and sharing files from all your Apple devices," said Bill Richard, VP of Development for WinZip. "As our growing collections of files seem to become more vulnerable every day, WinZip is giving you the security you need to keep your information safe."

WinZip Mac 5 integrates with the Mac OS X Quick Look tool, enabling you to browse the contents of a Zip file before it is unzipped. With support for Zip, Zipx, RAR, LHA, 7Z, JAR, and WAR formats, WinZip makes it easy to open any compressed file you receive, no matter which platform it was created on. With apps for Mac, iPad and iPhone, WinZip makes it safe and easy to share files on your favorite Apple devices.
