inSplitter

Not so long ago large files had to be separated into smaller chunks so they fit on the transfer device of choice. It may not be the case with removable drives today, but attaching large files in emails might prove a little tricky if the service has limitations. Luckily, you can use applications like inSplitter to chop up files in multiple, custom parts.

On the visual side of things, the application tries to make sure both beginners, and inexperienced individuals have an easy time accommodating with the set of features. Structured in three steps, these are neatly explained, and don’t take a lot of your time from start to finish.

Although files can’t be directly loaded through drag and drop, relying on the browse dialog is not that big of a deal. Needless to say that you’re not limited to files of any type, or size for that matter. However, the size of the input is shown, so you get an idea of how it’s best to split it. The second step requires little effort and consists of a name for output files.

On the bright side, the application allows you to split files by two criteria. On the one hand, you can specify a part’s size in KB, with details shown regarding transformation between KB, MB, and GB. On the other hand, you can simply write down the number of pieces you want, with an upper limit of 300 parts.

Splitting a file doesn’t usually take long, but this mostly depends on the input size. You’re asked whether or not to delete the source once done. Luckily, you don’t need the application to build the file in one piece, with an automated builder automatically created alongside individual parts.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that inSplitter is a lightweight, practical application which is sure to come in handy if you encounter size limitations in file transfer operations. You can either split by size, or number of parts, while the building process does not rely on the application at all.
