Convert 014 to 001

Understanding 014 and 001 file formats

014 and 001 files are both parts of a split archive, commonly created by file splitting tools such as HJSplit or 7-Zip. These files are not standalone formats but represent sequential parts of a larger file that has been divided for easier distribution or storage. The 001 file is typically the first segment, while 014 is the fourteenth segment in the sequence.

Why convert 014 to 001?

Technically, you do not convert a .014 file to a .001 file. Instead, you need to rejoin all split parts (from .001 through .014 and beyond) to reconstruct the original file. Renaming a .014 file to .001 will not work, as the content order is crucial for successful reassembly.

How to join 014 and 001 files

To combine split files, use a file joining tool. The most popular and reliable options are:

• HJSplit (Windows, Mac, Linux): Free and easy to use. Open HJSplit, select Join, choose the .001 file, and ensure all parts (.001, .002, ..., .014) are in the same folder. Click Start to merge.
• 7-Zip (Windows): Right-click the .001 file and select 7-Zip → Extract Here. 7-Zip will automatically process all sequential parts.
• WinRAR (Windows): Right-click the .001 file and choose Extract Here or Extract to [folder]. WinRAR will join all parts in order.

Best software for joining split files

7-Zip is highly recommended for its reliability, free license, and support for various split archive formats. HJSplit is also a good choice for simple joining tasks, especially if you do not need advanced features.

Summary

Instead of converting a .014 file to .001, use a file joining tool like 7-Zip or HJSplit to reassemble all parts and recover the original file. Always keep all split parts in the same directory for successful merging.
