CSV File Splitting Service: Make Large Files Easier to Work With

Managing large CSV files can be challenging; it might slow down scripts or web applications or cause spreadsheet software to fail. This is resolved by a CSV File Splitting Service, which enables you to split large datasets into smaller, easier-to-manage portions.

Why Split a CSV File?

  • Editing in Google Sheets or Excel is simpler.
  • Quicker script or application processing
  • Improved arrangement for sharing or analysis
  • Avoid upload or software restrictions.

How It Works

You can upload your file to these sites and select how to split it:
  • By row count (e.g., every 10,000 rows)
  • By column values (e.g., group by product category)
  • By file size (e.g., keep each file under 10MB)

Once complete, you can download the smaller files, ready to use, send, or import.

Real Example: Split CSV by ExtendsClass

One example of a free tool is ExtendsClass CSV Splitter. It allows users to upload a CSV file, define the number of rows per output file, and instantly split the file in the browser. No signup, fast results.

This is perfect for:

  • E-commerce product exports
  • Customer or order data segmentation

  • Developers working with test datasets

A CSV splitting service like this helps users save time, reduce errors, and maintain clean and efficient data workflows.
