How to split a file into parts

To perform this procedure, we need WinRAR archiver. The essence of the partitioning is to create several volumes of the archive. Run the WinRAR program and drag the desired file into the archiver window. You can also use the button "Add", which is located under the main menu of the program. A dialog box opens, in which you will need to click the button "Overview", then select the file to be archived and press the button "Open".

After opening the desired file, run the command «Add files to the archive». A dialog box appears for setting various archiving options. Find the drop-down list, on top of which there will be an inscription "Divide by volume in size". Among the standard options is the possibilitysplit into volumes to burn to CD and DVD. In addition, you can enter your own value for the size of one volume. For example, if you need to send a file by e-mail, when specifying the size, you should focus on the maximum size of attachments, which provides postal service.

If necessary, you can set a password for unpacking the created archive. To do this, select the tab in the settings dialog box "Additionally" and click on the button "Set password". Invent and enter the password twice. Then click on the button «OK».

In order to split the file into parts, After setting all the necessary options, click on the "OK" button in the backup options window. The procedure for splitting the file begins.

You also need to tell how from several volumes again make one file. To do this, place all the volume files in one folder. Then right-click on the first volume (at the end of the title this file will have «Part1»). In the context menu that appears, select "Extract". It will unpack and merge all volumes into one file.

Use the WinRAR archiver can be absolutely for any type of file. However, there are situations when the partitioning should not include archiving. Usually Archiving is not used for video, audio, PDF files.

To split video files, you need the VirtualDub program or any other editor capable of working withvideo. In the VirtualDub application, before you start dividing the video, be sure to activate the copy mode without changing the audio and video stream. After that, you can start to directly "cut" the video. The video can be divided into pieces of any duration. The same goes for audio files. You will need special editor, for example, mp3DirectCut, which is distributed completely free of charge.

To perform similar procedures with PDF files, you can use Adobe Reader. The interface of the application is quite simple and understandable. However, it should be noted that you can work only with those PDF-files, in which there is no protection from editing.

As you could see, split the file into partsquite simply. Thanks to this procedure, you can easily send various data by e-mail or spread on the so-called file sharing, where there is a limit on the amount of downloads.
