Winferno Press Release

Winferno’s SnapZip is First to Compress and E-mail Photos With Ease

Zip and e-mail any file or photo format including JPEGs, easy for anyone to use, and fully compatible with other compression programs

BOSTON - February 17, 2004 - Everyone likes to take photos and then share them with family, friends and co-workers. A quick way to share photos is to e-mail them. However, as photos are very large files, e-mailing these can cause long delays, they can freeze a computer while trying to send, or even fail to be sent due to the size. Winferno Software announced SnapZip(tm) for users that like to e-mail photos but haven’t found an easy-to-use solution up until now. SnapZip is the only program that allows users to easily zip and e-mail photos with one mouse click, and is compatible with other leading Zip programs.

The most efficient way to send large files is to compress or ‘zip’ them before e-mailing. Up until now, there wasn’t a user-friendly compression program available and of the programs that exist, none can compress photos, and offer compatibility with other Zip programs. For the first time, users don’t have to fuss with complicated programs and have a solution to e-mail photos with ease. SnapZip intelligently uses a combination of “lossless” and “lossy” compression on
photos and documents.

With Winferno Software’s SnapZip, zipping large files reduces the size of the file an average of three to four times. Even multiple photos can be saved in one zipped file and then quickly and easily e-mailed. There is no learning curve to SnapZip. An easy-to-use graphical interface guides the user to simply drag and drop files to zip them. Once the file has been zipped, the program instantly asks the user if they would like to e-mail the zipped file, and then automatically creates an e-mail in the user’s default e-mail program with the files attached.

“In the past I’ve used other compression programs like WINZIP, which was mediocre but SnapZip has definitely made it easier since the process (zip and e-mailing of photos) is so painless,” said Mark Leonardelli. “I’ve already recommended SnapZip to others.”

“I love your SnapZip program. It is so easy to use and much better than other programs I’ve tried before,” said Doug Beckling. “I will tell all my friends about this one for sure. This is a must have for anyone. AAA+++++++.”

“Winferno’s SnapZip program is great. I send a lot of photos, and I send them frequently,” said Patricia Martin. “On a scale of 1-5 with 5 exceeding expectations, I rate SnapZip a 5.”

In addition to using SnapZip to easily compress, e-mail and store photos and documents, SnapZip can also be used to back up files. Since less space is required to save files, up to five times as many files can be duplicated and saved to a disk or a CD for back-up purposes.
