Video Files for Upload Testing

Six real MP4 files sized from 1MB up to 100MB, each a genuine playable video rather than a zero-filled placeholder, for exercising every part of an upload flow.

What these files actually are

Every size in the ladder is a real, valid MP4 encoded at a controlled bitrate to land close to its advertised size, so upload progress and time reflect a genuine file, not padding.

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 size-limit testing

Find exactly where your app accepts or rejects a file, and confirm the error message that appears when a limit is exceeded.

Progress bar and speed testing

Check that upload progress indicators and estimated time remaining behave correctly across a range of file sizes.

Chunked and resumable upload testing

Push a large file through a multipart upload and test pausing, resuming, or a dropped connection partway through.

Frequently asked questions

Are these really valid video files, or padded placeholders?
Real, valid MP4s. Each is ffmpeg-encoded at a bitrate tuned to land close to its advertised size, not padded with junk bytes.
Which size should I start with?
Start at the smallest size your app should accept, then work up past your configured limit to confirm rejection behaves correctly.
