Split File

Splitting large files into multiple chunks can still come in handy for distributing large files, especially over the web, where limitations are frequently encountered. One method of doing so is to create an archive, but specialized applications like Split File skip the archiving process and target your file directly.

Features:

• Lightweight package


• No installation required


• Intuitive design


• Easy-to-use documentation

You might end up scratching your head for a while when asked to provide a destination for new files. This is because the open dialog doesn’t simply target a folder, and you also need to write down the name of new files. There’s no option to simply leave the destination the same as the source.

It can take a bit of time to process large files, especially if you split them into multiple chunks. What’s more, you need to use the application again for bundling them back into the original form since there’s no option to create an automated merge tool.

Summary:

Programs, video games, and specific project files tend to take more and more space, and sharing them online isn’t that easy, especially if you bump into size limitations. Split File helps you out through intuitive options to split large files into parts of a custom size. Even though an automatic join utility is not deployed, it’s worth a try overall.
