CSV Splitter by Number of Rows

Set custom row limits, up to 1,000,000 rows per output file

Set a Custom Row Limit for Your Split CSV Files

Different downstream tools have different row limits, and matching your split output to that specific limit is often the whole point: an import tool that caps at 100,000 rows, a reporting system that handles 250,000 comfortably, or simply your own preference for how large each piece should be.

Turbo CSV Splitter's Number of Rows method lets you set exactly the row limit your situation calls for, any value up to a ceiling of 1,000,000 rows per file. Enter your custom limit once, and every output file, except possibly the last, holds precisely that many rows.

Because the setting is a single number rather than a fixed preset, you can tune it to match whatever constraint you're working around, a database import batch size, a reporting tool's comfortable row count, or simply a size that feels manageable for manual review.

Preview reports your total row count and an estimate of how many files your custom limit will produce, letting you adjust the number before committing if the resulting file count doesn't match what you were expecting.

The header is repeated at the top of every output file regardless of your chosen row limit, so each file remains independently valid and directly usable no matter how you've configured the split.

Everything runs offline, on your own Windows PC, so setting a custom row limit and splitting your file never requires uploading any of your data to an external service. Delimiter and encoding both default to Auto and are detected directly from the file itself, so you only need to touch them in the rare case detection gets something wrong, an unusual delimiter or a legacy encoding, for example. This makes the tool equally useful for data analysts working with irregular exports, developers automating a recurring pipeline step, e-commerce teams distributing catalog data by category, and anyone else who regularly runs into the practical limits of opening a large CSV file directly in a spreadsheet program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a maximum row limit I can set?

Yes, the row limit per file can be set up to a ceiling of 1,000,000 rows.

Can I set a very small row limit, like 100 rows per file?

Yes, the row limit can be set to any value up to the 1,000,000-row ceiling, including small groupings if your use case calls for it.

How do I match the row limit to my import tool's constraints?

Set the row limit to a value at or below your import tool's own row cap, and every output file will stay within that constraint.

Can I change the row limit and preview again before committing?

Yes, you can adjust the row limit and re-run Preview as many times as needed before clicking Start Split.

Does this work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11?

Yes, Turbo CSV Splitter is built and tested for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Is my data safe when using this tool?

Yes, all processing happens locally on your PC; no files are ever uploaded, so proprietary or sensitive data stays fully under your control.

Can I compress the split output files?

Yes, you can leave parts uncompressed, zip or gzip each part individually, or bundle everything into a single ZIP or gzip archive, sped up by a parallel worker slider.

Can I use this on files stored on an external or network drive?

Yes, CSV files on local drives, external drives, or mapped network shares all work the same as any local file.

Can I cancel a split job partway through if I need to?

Yes, cancelling saves a checkpoint file in the output folder, so you can resume the job later exactly where it left off instead of starting over.

Is there a trial version available before buying?
