StuffIt Deluxe vs. WinZip

SWITCH TO STUFFIT DELUXE!
StuffIt Deluxe makes using the Internet fast, safe, and secure! Whether you store data securely in space-saving archives or safely send it to friends and co-workers, StuffIt makes it easier than ever to backup, upload files, and more, automatically!

Compress JPEG Photos and Images by up to 30%! With its revolutionary new photo compression technology, StuffIt archives what no other compression product has been able to do – reduce the size of JPEG photos and images up to 30% with absolutely no loss in image quality! Where existing archive technologies such as zip are unable to further compress JPEG photos, StuffIt’s patent-pending technology enables users to fit more data onto CDs, DVDs, and other storage and backup media. This provides significant bandwidth saving for professionals, businesses, and hobbyists looking to share images over the Internet or on the network!

Protect Yourself from Viruses! StuffIt now includes new ways to protect users from receiving viruses embedded in compressed archives. StuffIt works with installed virus scanning software (including solutions from McAfee, Symantec, Computer Associates, Trend Micro and all popular anti-virus software) to scan all files automatically when they are expanded from an archive.

ZipMagic Built In! StuffIt Deluxe 9 includes ZipFolders®, exclusive patented technology that allows users’ computers to open zip archives as if they were regular Windows folders. Only StuffIt allows users to access zipped files directly from the Open dialog of all favorite applications. Users can even modify compressed files and save them back into the zip archive without ever having to decompress it. ZipFolders, sets a new standard for transparent access to all zipped files.

	"...This is not a head-to-head review of StuffIt Deluxe and WinZip, so we won't detail their precise differences. We will say StuffIt Deluxe has three distinct advantages. First, for many files, StuffIt Deluxe makes smaller archives than WinZip. Second, StuffIt Deluxe's self-extractor component is bundled with the program (WinZip charges $49 extra for the self-extractor). Last, StuffIt can created and open both StuffIt and Zip archives, whereas WinZip does not support the StuffIt format..."

	"StuffIt compression is rock-solid, makes my files smaller and more manageable, and they transfer faster. It out zips WinZip and it's waaaay easier to use. I wouldn't compute without StuffIt Deluxe for Windows XP, and I recommend YOU do the same. Just say StuffIt, and smile!"
