Ashampoo ZIP

The functionality Ashampoo ZIP has to offer revolves around archives. You can use this application to create archives; take files and put them into a ZIP, 7Z, CAB, LHA, or TAR archive. And you can use this application to extract data from archives; support for lots and lots of formats is provided, such as ZIP, CBZ, ACE, CAB, TAR, GZ, FAT, and more.

You don’t have to worry about the system requirements. As Ashampoo explained, this tool will work just fine with any PC that runs Microsoft’s Windows operating system. That’s any Windows edition from Windows XP and Server 2003 onward. A straightforward setup wizard will help you install Ashampoo ZIP on a PC that runs Microsoft’s Windows OS.

Ashampoo ZIP has a good looking and easy to navigate interface that can be customized. From the Options menu, the Interface submenu, you can select one of many skins and you can select one of many supported languages. Ashampoo ZIP is available as a Free and as a Pro edition. I bring this up because the interface very clearly presents Ashampoo ZIP’s features and very clearly marks the features that are reserved for the Pro edition.

You could use the interface presented above. That’s always a good choice. But you need to know that Ashampoo ZIP integrates with Windows Explorer. This means that the functionality Ashampoo ZIP has to offer is never more than a right click away. You can right click a file/folder and select the option to turn it into a ZIP archive for example. Or you could right click an archive and select the option to extract it right there.

Ashampoo ZIP provides support for lots of archive formats, integrates with the right click context menu, helps you quickly create archives and easily extract data from archives.
