Images

Sample images in common web formats — JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG — plus design and raw formats: PSD, AI, EPS, Sketch, Figma, XD, TIFF, HEIC, BMP, ICO, and CR2. Sizes range from 1KB to about 15MB.

What these files actually are

Every file below is a real, valid file - generated with real tools (Sharp, ImageMagick, and Ghostscript) or sourced from a licensed real-camera sample - so it opens correctly in an image viewer or design app, not just a size-and-extension placeholder. The one exception: Sketch, Figma, and XD samples aren't available yet while we source real reference files for those proprietary 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

Upload widget testing

Confirm a file picker or drag-and-drop uploader accepts the extensions you expect and rejects the ones you don't, without needing real photos on hand.

Size-limit validation

Pick a file just under and one just over your configured max upload size to confirm both the accept and the reject path actually work.

Storage and CDN quota testing

Fill a test bucket, media library, or CMS folder with a spread of sizes to see how the system behaves as it nears a storage quota.

Design-tool import checks

Test whether an asset manager enforces its own size or extension limit on PSD, AI, Sketch, Figma, or XD imports, independent of what's actually inside the file.

Formats & variants

JPG
Lossy compression; the default format for photos across the web.
PNG
Lossless, supports transparency; typical for screenshots and graphics.
WebP
Modern web format, usually smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality.
AVIF
Newer still, with the best compression of the group and growing browser support.
GIF
Limited to 256 colors; still used for simple looping animations.
SVG
XML-based vector format that stays sharp at any size.
BMP
Largely uncompressed Windows bitmap; files run big for their dimensions.
ICO
Windows icon and favicon container format.
TIFF
High-fidelity format common in scanning and print workflows.
HEIC
Apple's default photo format since iOS 11; efficient compression.
PSD
Native Adobe Photoshop project file.
AI
Native Adobe Illustrator project file.
EPS
Older vector interchange format still used in some print workflows.
Sketch
Native file format of the Sketch design app.
Figma
For testing uploaders that accept design-tool exports by extension.
XD
Native Adobe XD project file.
CR2
Canon's raw camera format; unprocessed sensor data, so files run large.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open these as real photos or design files?
Yes. Every format except Sketch, Figma, and XD is a real, valid file that opens correctly in its native viewer or app - the JPG/PNG/WebP/etc. files render real generated artwork, and the CR2 sample is an actual camera raw capture.
What are they useful for, then?
Anything that depends on file size and type rather than content: checking an upload limit on a website or app, an accepted-file-type rule, an email attachment limit, cloud storage quotas, or a network/bandwidth test.
What's a realistic size to test with?
It depends on the limit you're checking. If your app should reject anything over 5MB, grab one file just under 5MB and one just over it to confirm both the accept and the reject path.
Can I use these in an automated test suite?
Yes. Each file has a stable, direct URL, so you can fetch it with curl or wget in a CI pipeline instead of committing large binary fixtures to your repository.
Which formats are available?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, SVG, BMP, ICO, TIFF, HEIC, PSD, AI, EPS, and CR2 (raw). Sketch, Figma, and XD are coming soon.
