Portable Splitter & Merger

Portable Splitter and Merger is an application designed to help you split files into smaller parts and then join them back together.

This type of tool is ideal the moment you have a file which is too big to be burnt to disk or shared online.

Since this is a portable software, installation is not necessary. You can simply place Portable Splitter and Merger on a removable device, plug it into any computer and directly run its executable file.

But the most important aspect is that your Windows registry keys will not be changed.

The interface of the application is based on a small, simplistic window in which you have limited options at your disposal.

In order to split a file, you can access it via the file browser only (since the "drag and drop" method is not supported), specify the destination folder and part size, and proceed with the splitting process.

On top of that, you can enable the program to compress the file, perform an integrity check and create a self-extracting module. The latter option is recommended if you want to send the pieces to someone who doesn't have Portable Splitter and Merger.

Once the splitting process ends, you can identify the parts by their extension (.001, .002 and so on). Portable Splitter and Merger also creates a file with the SPL format that you have to select if you want to merge the parts without creating a self-extracting module.

The software takes up a moderate amount of system resources and quickly splits and joins files without freezing, crashing or popping up errors. Everything ran smoothly during our tests.

However, you can only perform the splitting operation on files with a size larger than 65kB. Plus, there is no possibility of splitting files by the number of parts (nor can you view this information when splitting by part size). Putting aside the outdated interface, we strongly recommend Portable Splitter and Merger to all users who prefer a straightforward tool.
