Split thousands of files

How it works

Three steps. That's it.

Select your files, choose how to split them, and hit Start.

1

Select files

Choose a folder of files — PDFs, images, documents, anything at all.

2

Configure

Split by count, by size, into grouped sub-folders, or distribute without compression.

3

Start

SmartZipper uses every CPU core to process your files in seconds.

Features

Built for bulk file operations

Handle massive file collections that other tools can't manage efficiently.

Core feature

Parallel compression

Uses all CPU cores at once to build multiple archives simultaneously — 200+ MB/s, far faster than single-threaded 7-Zip or WinRAR for batch work.

Split by file count

Divide files into archives of a set number — e.g. 1,000 files per zip. Predictable, consistent sizes.

Split by size (MB)

Set a maximum size per archive — e.g. 100 MB per zip. Sizes are estimated accurately before compression.

Grouped sub-folders

Organise files into numbered sub-folders inside each zip — e.g. 10 folders × 10,000 files. Custom naming supported.

Distribute to folders

Split files into folder groups with no compression at all. Pure organisation — no zipping required.

Oversized-file handling

Files over the size limit automatically get their own zip or a separate folder. No manual work.

Fully offline & private

No internet, no telemetry, no data collection. Your files never leave your machine.

Standalone executable

A single file — no installation or runtime needed. Download, extract, run.

Get SmartZipper

Standalone executable — no installation required. Download, extract, and run.

🪟 Windows

Extract and run SmartZipper.exe. Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch — click "More info" → "Run anyway". Standard for independently published apps.

🍎 macOS

Extract the zip. macOS blocks unsigned apps on first launch — go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway". Runs normally after that.

Private by design

Your files stay on your machine. Always.

No internet, no telemetry, no data collection — SmartZipper reads files and writes archives, nothing else.
