To be fair to Winzip 12.1 which their developer also claim that Winzip 12 now has better algorithm to compress JPEG files, I decide to run another test which is compressing a folder which is full of JPEG files (pictures from my Olympus pocket camera and Nokia N73). 7zip able to compress file 2x better than winrar, but it also need 2x more time compare to Winrar J If size does matter, I full heartedly choose 7zip. Winzip compress time still bearable (68 seconds) which is 3.4x more than WinRar but what interest me here, 7zip doesn’t fall behind Winrar too much. In other word, with almost identical compress capability, Winrar is 8.3x faster than WinAce.

While Winace require 166 seconds to do the very same job, Winrar just need 20 seconds to complete this task. However, among all these candidates, if compress time is your concern than Winrar ace this test. 7zip can compress almost 2 times better than winrar and winace and amazingly, more than 3x better than what Wizip 12.1 (with zipx enable) can achieve. And yet, 7zip is an open source and completely free software. Time required to completely compress this folder : 1 minutes 8 seconds.įrom this simple test, clearly 7zip still the best files compressor. Time required to completely compress this folder : 20 secs Time required to completely compress this folder : 2 minutes and 46 secs Time required to completely compress this folder : 42 secs Notice that size on disk almost 20 MB more than actual size which indicate a lot of under 4 kB files in this folder. Consist of 7448 files (from sql, text, bin, exe, aip etc). So, I guess it would be nice if I could compare Winzip, Winrar, 7zip and WinAce best compression algorithm.Īn OsRose Dev Rev 358 folders. Furthermore, Winzip just launch their latest version of Winzip, known as Winzip 12.1 and according to their web, they are pretty confident with Winzip latest algorithm (zipx instead of good old zip). However, due to not so proper method that I used in that short test, the result is questionable.
