Efficient file management with portable splitting and joining
HJSplit, developed by Freebyte, is a freeware utility focused on dividing and reassembling large files. The program is highly compact, with a file size of approximately 300 KB, and requires no additional installations. This portability allows it to run directly from external storage devices, making it a functional tool for managing files that are too large for specific storage media or transfer methods.
The program can divide files up to 100 GB into segments of a user-defined size. The interface consists of six primary functions: Split, Join, Compare, Checksum, About, and Exit. During the splitting process, HJSplit automatically sequences and saves the smaller segments; when joining, the program detects the initial .001 file and automatically locates the subsequent parts to reconstruct the original file without manual intervention.
Simplified control for large file handling
To ensure data accuracy, the Compare tool verifies that two files are identical in size, while the Checksum tool generates MD5 checksums that can be copied to the clipboard for error detection. A progress bar provides visual feedback during operations, though it occasionally remains on screen after a task has finished.
A dedicated utility tool for file splitting
HJSplit is optimized for speed and can handle multi-gigabyte archives without significant system lag. Because the program does not modify the system registry or require an installation wizard, it leaves no footprint on the host computer. Overall, it is an effective utility tool for managing large files.
