  2. Open the Settings tab. [external link]

  3. Click the Split dropdown box and select an appropriate size for each of the parts of the split Zip file. If you choose Custom Size in the Split dropdown list, the Custom Size (MB) field will become active and allow you to enter in a custom size specified in megabytes.

  4. Open the Tools tab [external link] and click Multi-Part Zip File.

  5. In the Split window, browse to the location where you want to create the new split Zip file.

  6. Type in the file name for the new split Zip file in the File name box.

  7. Click OK.


WinZip will create your split Zip file using the size you specified in step 3 as the maximum size for each part.


The result will be one file with a .zip or .zipx extension, and additional files with numeric extensions: .z01 or .zx01, .z02 or .zx02, etc.
