WinZip is a commercial file compression and archiving utility that allows users to create, extract, and manage ZIP files and other archive formats. Originally popular on Windows, the Mac version provides a graphical interface for compressing files to save disk space, bundling files for sharing, and extracting downloaded archives. It supports various compression formats beyond ZIP, including RAR, 7Z, and TAR files, and offers features like password protection, file encryption, and cloud service integration. Many users rely on WinZip for managing compressed files, though macOS includes basic ZIP functionality built-in.

1 suggestionGood news! WinZip has released a native Apple Silicon version. Our community has confirmed that WinZip version 12.0.7282 runs natively as a Universal binary on Apple Silicon Macs. You should update to the latest version (12.0.7282) from the official WinZip website to get native performance. This is a significant update from your current version 7.0.4521, so you'll likely see improved performance and new features. Note that WinZip is a paid application after a 21-day trial period. If you prefer a free alternative, consider The Unarchiver from the Mac App Store, which handles most archive formats natively and is completely free.
