Source file

The Source file page is where you choose the file to split. Your original file is never changed. A split cannot start without a source file, so this is the first page to fill in.

Find it in the navigation pane under General. Any file type is accepted.

Source file

Choose file

Opens the system file picker. Once a file is chosen, the button reads Change file. The page then shows the file name, its size and, in the File path field, the full path. Clear removes the file.

Choose a recent file

Recent source files

The button next to Choose file opens the list of Recent files. Pick one to use it again, or clear the list.

Split a list of files

Multiple files

When you built a list with Split multiple files…, a banner states how many files are queued. Each file is split into its own set of pieces, one after the other, with the settings of the other pages. The page shows the first file. Change list… reopens the list, Clear list turns it off. See Split multiple files.

Reuse an earlier split

You split this file before

If an earlier split of this file (or of a file with the same name) is in the history, a banner shows its date, number of pieces, size and folder. Use those settings applies that split's settings to every page; Dismiss hides the banner.

This looks like a text file

For a text file, a banner offers Split by lines. It switches Type & size to the lines mode, where each piece holds whole lines. The banner does not appear with disk-spanned pieces.
