What file formats and types are available on file-examples.com?
file-examples.com offers sample files across five broad categories: video, audio, documents, images, and "other" files (text and archives). The site is aimed at developers, designers, and testers who need dummy files for testing or demos, and it lets you pick a file format and size before downloading. All files are described as free to download and use, and the site states they are checked to be free of viruses and adult content.
Video files
A collection of video files intended for testing and demo use, including HTML5 video testing. You choose the file format and size, then download.
Audio files
Audio samples in formats such as mp3 and wav, organized so you can download by size and format. Useful when you need audio of a specific length or file size for a test.
Document files
A set of document formats including:
- doc, docx
- odt
- xls
- ppt, pps
These cover common word-processing, spreadsheet, and presentation needs.
Image files
A stock of images for testing, available in many sizes and formats — for example jpg, png, and gif.
Other files
A miscellaneous group of text and archive files, including html, css, zip, and bzip2.

How to choose
Match the category to your test: pick video or audio when you need media of a specific size or format, documents when testing upload or parsing of office/PDF files, images for upload or rendering tests, and the "other" group for HTML/CSS assets or compressed archives. Because each category is browsable by format and size, you can select the exact variant your test requires rather than a single fixed sample.
