Split File and Join Part Files with Free 001 File Manager
Are you looking for a free file splitter utility to split a large file into multiple parts so that it becomes easy to distribute? Then try the free 001 File Manager!!!
Quite often we find the need for a file splitter and merger, when we want to split a file into multiple parts, so that they can be copied on to multiple CDs or DVDs or USB sticks. I often found this need when I wanted to carry a large video file or mp3 or any media file or even a zip file. Because of the physical size limitations of the USB stick or DVD or CD, I would want to split the large file into multiple parts and carry them in multiple CDs or DVDs or USB sticks. I would also want the ability to merge these files together, after loading them on to another PC. Well, this is exactly what the free 001 File Manager helps me to do i.e. split any large file into multiple parts and them merge them all together!!!
001 File Manager is a portable software does not require any installation!! So it can be carried along with me on any media including a USB stick and use it whenever I find the need to split a large file.

How to merge the split files with 001 File Manager?
This file splitter is unlike the free mp3 splitter or video splitter which cut mp3 or video files into multiple playable files. Thus you cannot split a video file into multiple parts and play each file on its own. You also cannot merge a few of the split files and play them like you can do with a video joiner.
You will have to join all the split files together with 001 File Manager, to use the file again. To merge the split files, copy them on to the remote PC. Load the software (001 File Manager) as well on to the same PC.

- open 001 File Manager
- Navigate to Merge tab
- click Add file(s) fom another location button and add all the parts
- Specify the destination location for the merged file
- click the Start icon at the bottom of the screen
