Split Byte

Split Byte is a great solution for managing large files, offering both splitting and joining functionality. With this free software, you can quickly break large files into smaller pieces and also reassemble them as needed. This is particularly helpful when sharing large files via email or burning them to CD/DVD.

You have two options for how the files are divided: you can either specify a particular file size or indicate the number of segments desired. Split Byte also allows you to add security measures, such as password protection or encryption, to each segment. The program is user-friendly, making it easy to email the split components, and even schedule your computer to shut down automatically once the operation is completed.

Additionally, Split Byte can calculate the MD5 checksum, which compares files and ensures the successful completion of the split and join process. With its intuitive interface, you can drag and drop files into the application window or add them via right-click in Windows Explorer.

Those who want a high degree of customization can use the software from the command line or include it in scripts for more complex, automated processes. The software is available in 38 different languages, making it helpful for international organizations. Furthermore, a portable edition of Split Byte is also available, allowing users to carry it with them wherever they go.
