HN File Spliter

HN File Spliter is a lightweight tool that enables you to split files into smaller pieces as well as to put them back together. It's useful for trimming large items to spread across multiple removable drives and transfer to another computer.

Cut and combine files

The interface is represented by a semi-transparent rectangular frame that shows all options available. This way, you don't have to depend on multiple windows.In order to cut a file, all you have to do is point it out with the aid of the file browser, and set the size of each smaller part by selecting a predefined value from the drop-down menu (ranging from 1000KB to 1GB) or by specifying a custom number, even if it's smaller than 1000KB or larger than 1GB.

How it works

The new volumes are automatically created in the same location as the original file (the saving directory cannot be changed). They preserve the same name and get appended with the .hn0, .hn1, .hn2.. extensions.For combining all parts to reconstruct the original object, it's only necessary to select one of the volumes and make sure that the remaining ones exist in the same place; they are autodetected by HN File Spliter. If the output file already exists, it gets automatically overwritten.

No setup required, besides .NET Framework

The entire program's wrapped in a single executable file that can be saved to a custom directory on the disk or copied to a removable storage unit, in order to effortlessly run it on any PC.Just keep in mind that .NET Framework must be installed, otherwise it won't launch. It doesn't add new entries to the system registry or create additional files on the disk without your knowledge.

Evaluation and conclusion

File splitting and merging jobs were quickly carried out in our tests, during which the utility remained light on system resources usage. It didn't cause the operating system to hang, crash or indicate errors. Thanks to its approachable GUI and options, it can be handled even by inexperienced users.
