Frequently asked questions
Why would I need to split a CSV file?
Common reasons include: upload limits in tools like Mailchimp or HubSpot, splitting data for parallel processing, chunking large exports for batch database imports, or sharing manageable subsets with colleagues.
Does each split file keep the header row?
Yes. The column header row from the original file is included at the top of every output file.
Can I split a gigabyte-scale CSV file?
Yes. Splitting runs server-side using DuckDB so it works on files of any size without crashing your browser.
Can I split by a column value instead of row count?
Row count splitting is currently supported. Splitting by column value (e.g. one file per country) is on the roadmap.
Is the CSV splitter free?
Yes, completely free. No account, no size limit, no paywall.
