What Split a TSV File can do:

Split a TSV File gives you a simple way to break large tab-separated datasets into smaller, manageable chunks. Whether you’re prepping data for batch uploads, splitting logs by rows, or distributing portions to teammates, this tool helps you do it without touching a script or spreadsheet.

You can choose to keep the header row on each split (great for consistency) and set exactly how many rows go into each part. The export option lets you save all parts with a single click, while the preview lets you see the first result immediately.

Example:

Input:

name	age	city
Alice	30	NY
Bob	25	LA
Charlie	40	TX
Dana	22	SF

Rows per file: 2Include header in each part: ON

Output (first file preview):

name	age	city
Alice	30	NY
Bob	25	LA

Second file (downloaded):

name	age	city
Charlie	40	TX
Dana	22	SF

Common Use Cases:

Use this when you’re dealing with large TSV files that need to be sent in chunks, split for processing, or imported into systems that can only handle a few rows at a time. It’s also great for sharing segmented data or organizing input for testing.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

After you Split a TSV File, Count TSV Rows helps you verify each chunk has the expected number of lines. And if you’re prepping each piece for analysis, Filter TSV Data lets you zero in on just the rows you care about.
