.ZIX File Extension

File archive compressed using WinZix compression; claims to use a higher compression ratio and perform faster compression than comparable file archiving utilities.

NOTE: WinZix has been known to install spyware on computers and may not compress files. Therefore, using WinZix is not recommended.

A ZIX file is a data file used by older versions of Intuit Quicken, a financial management app. It stores financial data entered by a user, such as their transactions and investments. Quicken no longer stores data in ZIX files.

Intuit Quicken is an application for Windows and macOS that helps you manage your finances and investments. The software allows you to track transactions, create budgets, and organize assets.

Earlier versions of Quicken used ZIX, ZDB, and CHG files to store financial data that the software referenced when loading information in the app. However, Quicken no longer uses ZIX files, making them rare.

ZIX files are not meant to be manually opened. Instead, Intuit Quicken references the data stored in the ZIX file. However, Quicken no longer supports ZIX files.
