The company also says that StuffIt uses a variety of specialized compression technologies and picks the one best suited to your source, though there are plenty of options to choose from if you wish. For example, you can encrypt a file in StuffIt format using DES (64-bit encryption), AES (256-bit encryption), RC4 (512-bit), and Blowfish (448-bit). Unlike WinZip, StuffIt can create and access files in a host of compression formats beyond SIT/SITX and ZIP: TAR, SEA, HQX, GZ, TGZ, LHA, RAR, UU, UUE, LZH, ARC, and CAB.
The SIT/SITX format offers one important advantage: these compresrsed files can be read by Windows, Macs, Unix, and Linux systems. I liked the ability to access StuffIt functions from within Microsoft Office using a plug-in for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. I could open a compressed file directly from within Word, for example.

StuffIt 12 also includes a plug-in for Adobe Photoshop CS2 and CS3.įrom the main screen you can create an archive to run immediately or use the interface to schedule the same compression on a regular basis (daily, weekly, at power-on, log-on, or shut down). This latter option is what SmithMicro says serves as a backup utility that lets you schedule regular backups using the archive bit to select "changed" files.Although the vendor says "StuffIt can be deployed as an effective backup solution for important documents and projects," the program doesn't have the user friendliness of a dedicated backup/recovery program such as Titan Backup.

Of course, the proof is in the compression pudding, and in a match up with WinZip 11.2 (using both program's default settings and without using encryption), the results were in WinZip's favor for speed, and slightly in StuffIt's favor for file size.įor example, both programs did best using files full of white space: a one-page PDF file of a calendar was reduced by 6.2% in WinZip and 5.2% with StuffIt a 64-page PDF with a few illustrations shrank by 4.8% in WinZip (the process took just 8 seconds) and 28.1% with StuffIt (in 18 seconds). A PowerPoint presentation shrank by 31.1% using WinZip but just 29.5% with StuffIt. Most day-to-day files took no more than 2 seconds to compress in either program.
