Welcome to WXR File Splitter

Effortlessly Split Large WordPress Export Files for Seamless Imports

If you’ve ever faced the frustration of importing large WordPress WXR (.xml) files, you know how common server timeouts, cache issues, and other import errors can be. These problems are not just annoying; they can lead to incomplete imports, lost data, and wasted time. Whether you’re migrating a large site or simply backing up your content, the challenges of handling large WXR files can quickly become overwhelming.

WXR File Splitter is built to solve these issues by breaking down large WXR files into smaller, import-ready chunks. By reducing the file size, you minimize the risk of server timeouts and ensure a smoother, more reliable import process. This tool allows you to focus on what really matters—getting your content where it needs to go—without the headaches of troubleshooting failed imports.

Why Use WXR File Splitter?

  • No File Size Limits: Unlike other tools, WXR File Splitter can handle files larger than 4MB. While there's a server-level cap at 256MB, most users will find this tool perfect for even the largest sites.
  • Avoid Timeouts: Importing large XML files can often lead to server timeouts and failures. By splitting your files into smaller, more manageable sizes (like 2MB), you reduce the risk of these issues, ensuring a smoother import process.
  • Simple & Efficient: No complicated setup or configurations. Just upload your WXR file, set your desired file size, and let WXR File Splitter do the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

A WXR (WordPress eXtended RSS) file is an XML file generated by WordPress when you export your site’s content. It contains posts, pages, comments, custom fields, categories, tags, etc.

Splitting a WXR file is necessary when importing large sites with extensive content. Large files can lead to server timeouts, import errors, or incomplete imports. By splitting the file into smaller parts, you reduce the chances of these issues.

While we recommend keeping each split file around 2MB, our tool can handle the splitting of files up to 256MB in size. This is much larger than the 4MB limit you’ll find in other tools.

Simply import each split file individually through the WordPress importer. The process will be the same as importing a full WXR file, but without the hassle of timeouts or import errors.
