Until more capable file formats will emerge in the distant, or even near future, we are still somehow bound by archives, compression and encryption. Such is the trend that more and more archive handling utilities impress through a myriad of tools under a single “roof” and providing really innovative functionality can be challenging. Much like its predecessor,  Ashampoo ZIP Pro promises to offer users a bundle that contains a comprehensive collection of archive encryption/decryption tools, coupled with several other, highly useful features.

As if resembling a futuristic gaming design, the app’s looks could be considered to be both aesthetically appealing and functional. Thanks to a feature structure that is divided into three main categories, finding the right one for the job can be done in an instant.

Each of the different sub-categories each contains even more details, and if one wishes to dwell deep into the app’s innards, there are tools for almost anything archive-related. Unlike similar compression utilities,  Ashampoo ZIP Pro really manages to convey its design into actual functionality.

Where this program shines, is the numerous extra perks it offers through its special tools, and since it already offers a brilliant job at performing archiving operations, the “extra stuff” is why we’re here.

With tools for creating archive scripts, mounting virtual drives, signing documents or even performing multi-extraction operations, there really isn’t much one can’t achieve with this software.

This new and improved version of  Ashampoo ZIP Pro comes with even more features and an updated, redesigned look, which together with the dedicated, extra tools, we believe make up for an excellent archive handling utility.
