Frequently Asked Questions
What are sample files and why do I need them?
Sample files are well-formed, valid examples of specific file formats used for testing software, validating file parsers, prototyping applications, and learning about file structures. Developers use them to test file upload features, QA engineers use them for regression testing, and students use them to understand how different formats work.
Are the files really free? Do I need to sign up?
Yes, every file on File Examples is 100% free to download. No registration, no email required, no download limits, and no hidden fees. Just click and download instantly.
How many file formats do you support?
We currently offer 1000+ sample files across 50 categories covering 700+ file formats. This includes documents (PDF, DOCX, ODT), images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, SVG), video (MP4, MKV, WebM, MOV), audio (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG), spreadsheets (XLSX, CSV, ODS), code files (JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Rust, Go, C#), 3D models (OBJ, STL, glTF, USDZ), data formats (Parquet, Avro, Arrow), and many more.
Can I use these files in my CI/CD pipeline or automated tests?
Absolutely. All files are static and served via direct URLs, making them perfect for automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and integration tests. You can link directly to any file's download URL.
Are the sample files safe to download?
Yes. All files are created in-house or carefully curated. They contain no malware, no tracking, and no sensitive data. Executable files (EXE, APK, DMG) are non-functional placeholders for testing only.
