SplitZilla

Files tend to get larger and larger, but storage devices as well. However, you might still encounter limitations when it comes to size values, even though it doesn’t seem to be a modern day problem. It’s usually the case with email attachments, but these types of inconveniences can easily be solved with applications like SplitZilla.

First of all, the application isn’t packed inside an installer, so you can check out the set of features as soon as download is done. This, not only means that you can have it stored on a thumb drive in case you want to use it on other computers, but it also keeps the health status of the target PC intact, because registry entries are not modified in the process.

The application offers everything in a pretty compact window. A couple of fields help you choose the file you want to split, and the destination to save components, while the lower section is fitted with several parameters, such as split size, and more.

You can only split one file at a time, and it can’t be a directory. Sadly, adding a file to the operation is only done through the browse dialog, because a drag and drop operation is not supported here, and the application doesn’t integrate itself in the context menu.

Splitting is only done by size, with a few preset values to choose from, as well as a dedicated field to write the exact value of the chunk size. Additional options let you have a batch file created, use output, subdirectories, and batch file. Bundling the files back together is done through an automated file automatically created by the application.

All things considered, we can state that SplitZilla is a lightweight, yet practical application you can use to chop large files in multiple parts. Although there are not plenty predefined split size values, options are clear, and the process helps you automatically build all files back together.
