Documents

Sample document files in DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, DOC, XLS, PPT, ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF, TXT, CSV, and TSV.

What these files actually are

Each file below is a real, valid document - built with real DOCX/XLSX/PPTX generators and converted to the legacy DOC/XLS/PPT binary formats and to ODT/ODS/ODP with LibreOffice, or written directly for RTF/TXT/CSV/TSV - so it opens correctly in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LibreOffice, or similar apps, including older versions that only read the pre-2007 binary formats.

Are these files safe to download?

Every sample file is generated by us — no executable code, no macros. Files are served over HTTPS from our CDN, each with a SHA-256 checksum so you can verify your download and a link to an independent VirusTotal scan report.

Common use cases

Import-dialog validation

Confirm a file picker or drag-and-drop zone filters correctly by extension — for example, that a CSV importer accepts .csv/.tsv but rejects .docx.

Attachment policy checks

Verify a mail filter or DLP rule correctly flags or allows specific office-document extensions.

Migration and ingestion smoke tests

Feed a bulk-import or migration script a spread of extensions and sizes to confirm it handles an unreadable file gracefully instead of crashing.

Document-management quota testing

Fill a test library or folder in a DMS with a mix of formats to see how storage and indexing behave near a quota.

Frequently asked questions

Will these open in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint?
Yes. Each file has a real, valid document structure, so office apps open it correctly and show real content.
What are they useful for, then?
Checking an upload size limit on a website, portal, or form, an accepted document extension, an email attachment limit, or storage and bandwidth handling.
Are the ODT/ODS/ODP and DOC/XLS/PPT files converted from the DOCX/XLSX/PPTX, or built separately?
They're converted directly from the DOCX/XLSX/PPTX with LibreOffice, so every format shows the same real content rather than being built separately.
Can I use these in an automated test suite?
Yes. Each file has a stable, direct URL, so you can fetch it in a CI pipeline instead of committing large binary fixtures to your repository.
Which formats are available?
DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, DOC, XLS, PPT, ODT, ODS, ODP, RTF, TXT, CSV, and TSV.
