You can now convert your CSV file into a Parquet file with Split CSV

Split CSV has always been the easiest way to split large CSV and Excel files into smaller pieces. We want to make it as easy for you to get your data wherever you need it to be: we’ve added functionality to save your output data in the column-oriented data format Parquet. Parquet is a binary file format (so not readable with a simple text editor) but offers fast queries and the ability to retrieve specific values without loading the entire file into memory. Many modern data tools support Parquet, and now Split CSV does too.

When choosing your split options, you can now pick the Output Parquet option.

Once you complete the split, your download will include the Parquet formatted files, instead of the standard CSV files.

Coming soon: splitting Parquet files into smaller CSV files. Let us know if there are specific things you’d like to do with Parquet files, or other formats you’re interested in.

Happy splitting!
