How to combine files into one file?

Even modern data transfer systems have their limits. The ability to send various data and files is very limited. Therefore, when it becomes necessary to send data to someone, we try to do it in small parts. There are a variety of options for how you can separate files of various formats. We’ll talk about this today. So how to merge files into one file?

Archives

The very first and most understandable way to split data into parts is to create multi-volume archives. You can download and install WinRar on your personal computer. It supports all known compression formats, and also has a built-in tool that allows you to split the desired file into small parts.

For example, you need to forward a movie via internal work mail. Maybe for official purposes, or maybe not. Never mind. Only here is the problem - its size is about 8 GB, and office mail supports files up to 1 GB. What are we doing? Add our video to the archive, making it multi-volume. Thus, it will break into many small files that we can transfer.

Now the receiving side needs to merge the files into one file. To do this, you must put all the downloaded small archives in one folder and start unpacking absolutely any of them. As a result, the files will be combined into one file.

Text and Picture

This problem is much simpler. If you need to combine files into one file, and at the same time they are text, you will need any editor - Notepad, WordPad, Microsoft Word. In order to do this, you need to open both files in different windows, and then do the following.

1. In the first document, set the cursor anywhere in the text.
2. Press the key combination "Ctrl + A". You will see how the entire text is highlighted.
3. Press "Ctrl + C". This action will copy the information.
4. Now go to the second window and put the pointer at the end of the file.
5. Press "Ctrl + V". The copied text is pasted.
6. Now click "Save As ..." and create a new file, which will be the union of the previous two.

Image files are a little more complicated. The higher the quality of the picture, the more complex programs should be used to combine images. Of course, if you do not care about the quality of the result, then you can simply use Paint in a trite way. It will look something like this.

1. To combine files into one file, open the first of them in the editor.
2. By default, it will be immediately highlighted in its entirety. Copy it with the same combination as the text in the example above.
3. Open the second file. Stretch the workspace. You will see a white field appear. Enlarge it until you have enough area to insert the copied design.
4. Insert the picture. It will overlap over the existing one. Do not touch anything. Just hover over it and click the left button. Drag the picture into the white area.

This is how the simplest combination of graphic files into one occurs.

Pdf

As you probably know, in PDF files, information is presented more in pictures than in texts. You cannot select it with the cursor or otherwise, and since many documents are saved in this format, combining PDF files into one is a vital process for many. Let's try to parse this particular case of unification. There are two ways you can perform this operation.

1. Online Yes, there are services that allow you to combine PDF files. You simply upload documents online, and then download the result. Unfortunately, this method is not always effective, since files of this format are quite large, and if at least one of them contains about 50 pages, the process may take a long time.
2. Offline You just need to download and install the full version of Adobe Acrobat. And follow the following instructions:

• first, on the main panel, click "Create";
• then "Combine PDF into one file";
• add the necessary files from the computer and sort them;
• Click Combine
• everything, you can save the finished file to your PC.

Virus creation

Well, or not really viruses. The fact is that there are applications that allow you to "stick together" files of different formats. For example, you can write a program and save it in the ".exe" format, and then stick it to a graphic file. Then the person who opened the picture will automatically start the execution of your utility. In fact, most antiviruses have long seen such adhesives and neutralize them. So what you can do the most is to play a trick and teach a lesson to your friend who, according to your information, does not use any protection 100%. For example, in order to combine files into one file, you can use the HJ-Split application.
