We successfully split several large files, including multigigabyte files, using HJ-Split, and then turned around and joined them again, all in a few minutes. The tool automatically splits and numbers the files and saves them to the destination folder. Clicking Split or Join calls up simple dialogs that involve browsing for source and destination files, setting the split file size, and pressing Start. HJ-Split's ultrasimple interface has six buttons, four of which access tools: Split, Join, Checksum, and Compare and About and Exit buttons, with Web links on the About button and the interface that access an online Help file. HJ-Split handles files up to 100 GB in size, so it can also split backup archives.
This portable freeware runs without being installed, making it a useful addition to portable devices. HJ-Split is an easy-to-use application that bundles several versatile splitter and joiner tools from Freebyte. If you share files online, over private networks, or via devices like thumb drives, you probably know how useful file joiners and splitters can be. They make it possible to share, upload, and download files and data much too large for the typical PC to handle.
File joiners and splitters break apart large files into smaller segments that can be joined together easily.
