What is a .ZSPLIT file?
The .ZSPLIT file extension is associated with a type of compressed file known as an Archiver Compressed Split File. This file format is specifically used by a software called Archiver, which is designed for users of Mac OS X. Archiver is a versatile tool that allows users to create archive files, compress and reduce the size of files, and extract content from archive files.
A .ZSPLIT file contains a file that has been divided into smaller parts, or "chunks," according to a size specified by the user. These chunks are then compressed using Bzip compression technology, which helps to significantly decrease the file size, making it easier to manage, store, or share.
To handle .ZSPLIT files, you need to use the Incredible Bee Archiver software. Here’s how you can work with these files: ### Creating a .ZSPLIT File: 1. **Start Archiver**: Open the Archiver application on your Mac. 2. **Import Your File**: You can drag and drop the file you want to split and compress directly into the application. Alternatively, you can select `File` → `Open...`, navigate to your desired file, and click `Open`. 3. **Configure the Split**: Once your file is loaded, choose the `Split` option. Select `ZIP` as the compression method. 4. **Set Chunk Size**: Decide on the size of each chunk into which your file will be split. You can specify this size in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). 5. **Finish**: Make sure the `Checksum` option is unchecked, then click `Finish`.
### Opening (Combining) a .ZSPLIT File: 1. **Access the File**: Locate the .ZSPLIT file in your system. It will typically appear with a compound extension, such as `example.jpg.a.zsplit`, `example.jpg.b.zsplit`, and `example.jpg.c.zsplit` if you split a .JPG file into three parts. 2. **Combine the File**: Double-click the .ZSPLIT file. In Archiver, select the `Combine` option. 3. **Export or Open**: After the files are combined, you can either open the restored file directly or export it to a specified location on your Mac.
### Note: The use of the .ZSPLIT file format is particularly useful when dealing with large files that need to be broken down into more manageable
