What this developer tool does
Split a CSV by row count, file count, approximate byte size, or a selected column value while preserving valid CSV records.
The browser parses the input, applies the selected transformation, validates detectable structural issues, and generates copy-ready output without uploading the source data.
Processing is local to this page. Always validate critical output in the target application, runtime, or database engine.
Example
Use the preloaded sample, change one option, and run the tool to compare the generated result.
Tips for better output
- Test with a representative sample before processing a large production file.
- Keep an original backup before replacing source data.
- Review warnings instead of treating formatted output as full semantic validation.
FAQ
How do I split a large CSV into smaller files?
Paste or upload representative data, review the detected settings, run the tool, and verify the output before replacing production files.
How can I split CSV by a fixed number of rows?
No. The processing implemented on this page runs locally in your browser.
How do I split CSV records by a column value?
It is designed for large text input, but available memory and browser performance still depend on your device.
How can I keep the header in every output file?
Use Copy Output for clipboard-ready text or Download to save the processed result with an appropriate extension.
How do I split CSV by approximate file size?
Review the warning and the affected input before using the output. Warnings identify ambiguous or structurally inconsistent data.
