Frequently asked questions
What is File Splitter?
Cut any large file into pieces — of a fixed size, or into a number of equal parts — then download them together and rejoin them later.
When would I actually use this?
Bundling several files into one to send, opening an archive without installing anything, and cutting a file that exceeds an attachment or upload limit into pieces that can be put back together.
What is the most common mistake?
Treating the parts of a split file as files. A piece is a slice of bytes, not a smaller version of the original: it opens as nothing, and the whole is recoverable only if every part is present, unrenamed and in order. Losing one part loses the file.
How is File Splitter different from Create a TAR file?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Create a TAR file is the one to open when you need it to bundle several files into an uncompressed .tar, the archive Unix tooling expects. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.
Is there a tool for the next step?
Create a ZIP file is the closest one after this: Bundle several files into one ZIP, choosing how hard to compress them.
What else is worth having open alongside it?
Extract a ZIP file and File Merger — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.
Where do the figures come from?
ZIP and TAR are open container formats with published layouts, and both are read and written here in the browser. A container records names, sizes and order; it does not record who made it or whether the contents are what they claim, so an archive is a wrapper, never a guarantee.
