Compressing and uncompressing files are common operations just like copying and deleting. Ashampoo ZIP Pro not only works with all compression formats but offers extra security in the form of file encryption.
The application seamlessly integrates with Windows Explorer and provides convenient status updates as well as jump lists through the taskbar on Windows 7 and 8. Program features are presented through a Windows 8 like tile-based interface that displays essential features as rearrangeable tiles.
Apart from file compression, Ashampoo ZIP Pro features powerful file encryption with multiple algorithms to protect files against unauthorized access. For more security and credibility, the program also encrypts and signs Office and PDF files which is highly recommended for official business or other sensitive documents.
The application offers various additional features such as self-extracting archives that may be opened on any PC without additional software or archive conversion into different formats. Even damaged archives can be repaired with the application. Files that are part of ISO images can easily be accessed through a virtual disk drive that also comes with the product. Finally, the integrated disc ripping feature can even create ISO images for you.
