We recommend using WinZip 17.5 build 10480, which is the current release. WinZip 17.5 makes it easier than ever to work with Zip files (.zip or .zipx) and other popular archive formats (including .rar, .7z, .bz2, and many others). WinZip 17.5 highlights are:
- Use cloud services (Dropbox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box, CloudMe) for zipping, unzipping, and sharing
- Convert document files to PDF while they are zipped
- Add a watermark to picture files while they are zipped
- Share files in social media accounts with ZipShare (Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter)
For more details and other new features, please visit the WinZip 17.5 product page.
If you are registered for an earlier version of WinZip and would rather not upgrade to WinZip 17.5 at this time you can download and install the latest build of your version of WinZip from the Alternative Download Links page. A link to Legacy Download Links near the bottom of this page is available for even older versions.
The files you download from these two pages will install the latest build for each WinZip version. Earlier builds are not distributed as the latest builds will include operational fixes and/or security fixes for the earlier builds. You can check what build you have installed in the About WinZip dialog. For your reference, the latest build numbers for each version are listed below.
