Split Text: limits and things worth knowing
- Splitting by size can cut mid-word or mid-line unless you split on a delimiter, so choose line or delimiter mode when structure matters.
- The output is delivered as a ZIP when there are several parts, which keeps the ordering explicit in the filenames.
- Very large inputs are limited by your device's memory, since the whole text is held in the browser — which is also why none of it is uploaded.
- Splitting a CSV by size loses the header on every part after the first; split by lines and re-add the header if the parts must stay valid.
Is it private and secure?
Your privacy is built in. Split Text runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.
Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.
You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.
