ENEX facts
ENEX exports hold every note and attachment in one long XML document. Evernote parses that document in memory before a single note appears so a heavy export freezes the app or drops notes midway. Evernote File Splitter cuts the export into smaller ENEX files that import one batch at a time.

4How Evernote File Splitter Cuts an ENEX File
Click Open, select Choose Files or Choose Folders, mark the exports, then click Export and Split. Set a size, browse to a folder and save.
Row data needs the CSV File Splitter and contact cards need the VCF File Splitter.
Core features
Five screens of Corbett Evernote Splitter software, in working order.
Open
Click Open, then select Choose Files for single exports or Choose Folders for a full notebook directory. Corbett opens ENEX on its own, with no Evernote login.
Size causes no trouble here because no ENEX size cap applies.
Preview
Preview panel lists note titles and body text so a wrong export or an empty notebook shows up before parts are written.
Folder tree on the left lists every loaded export.
Selection
Checkboxes sit beside every loaded export. Clear files that are small enough already and keep the heavy ones marked.
Evernote Splitter utility splits only the exports you leave ticked.
Split modes
Click Export, then Split to open the settings. Default splitting cuts exports at a size you set under Max file size.
Advanced splitting sends body data, audio files and other content into separate parts. One checkbox saves every note as its own file.
Save
Click Browse to set the destination, then click Save. Success message confirms when your ENEX parts are ready.
Import the parts into Evernote one at a time.
Working process
Four steps take you from one frozen export to a set of parts Evernote imports with ease. Try them on a single export in free demo first.
Load your exports
Click Open, then select Choose Files or Choose Folders. Preview note text in the panel.
Mark the files
Tick the heavy exports on the left panel and clear the small ones.
Set the split
Click Export, then Split. Select Default or Advanced splitting and set Max file size.

User testimonials
Corbett earns 493 reviews from buyers.
Collected across 493 reviews from software portals and the help desk. Three reviews below are unedited.
In my hard drive, there is a large .enex file that contains thousands of notes. I tried to open it in Evernote but the program kept crashing. But, after using this tool my process became much easier by splitting it into a smaller size. This way, I can now easily access all my notes without any problems.
I was worried that I would lose my important lessons. So, I have come across this Evernote file splitter tool and split my large notes into multiple files and made the task manageable.
Initially, I was hesitating whether this software would work or not. But, giving it a try changed my mind. It is one of the best tools, as it precisely splits large notes and provides many great features. So, keep it up.
Before you split
Three short checks give you a clean first split.
Export from Evernote
Use File, then Export Notes in the Evernote desktop app and save as ENEX. Exports from older Evernote builds load too.
Choose a part size
Set Max file size well below the export that froze. Smaller parts mean more imports and far fewer stalls.
Keep the original ENEX
Splitting never edits the source export. Store it on a second drive until every part has imported.
Row data or contact cards? See the CSV File Splitter and the VCF File Splitter.
Safety checks
Four habits keep a big split safe.

Preview first
