WinZip 11

WinZip 11 is a compression tool developed having the Windows 11 UI in mind. This simple tool lets you compress and extract files from archives in a jiffy. If you are looking for an alternative to the current, and popular zipping programs, WinZip 11 might be worth your time.

The program has a slick, almost transparent dashboard, which is split into two parts. The left half deals with both the extraction and archiving actions, while the right side lists all files you wish to process, including the start button. Moreover, the tool comes in a portable package, meaning you don't have to install it. Move it to any location on your PC, and quickly run it each time you need it.

Extracting contents from within an archive is done after you select the archive and an output location. As secondary features to the extraction, you can choose to delete the files after the unzipping is complete or opened the put location. Both functions can be activated by checking their boxes.

To switch to archive, click the button with the same name located where a toolbar should be, or to be more precise, just along the Language Settings combo menu. Click Choose to open the file selection menu, add all your files, and save them. It appears that only files can be archived, and not folders, which can be a big downside for some users.

WinZip 11 also comes with half a dozen background themes. Styling the interface is not a big deal, yet it may come in handy for those looking to match this program with the wallpaper.

WinZip 11 is not a professional compression program, yet it brings a new dynamic to how file extraction and archiving are done. The tool is responsive and smooth, and its learning curve should allow any individual to successfully operate it, no matter the skills.
