Download test files

Test files of various sizes can be useful for network and application testing. Below are download links to a few popular file sizes as well as a tool to generate custom size files. The files contain randomly generated binary data.

This page was first built to test the file upload functionality on our job board and RotaPlanner - Employee Scheduling Software.

Network downloaded test files

These test files will be downloaded in full over your network connection from high speed servers. These files can be used to test your network download speed.

1MB 50MB 5MB 10MB 20MB 2GB

Locally generated test files

These locally generated files will download much quicker than the network downloaded files since their content's are generated on the fly. Their download speed is restricted only by your device's processor and storage drive speed.

All file sizes here conform the ISQ and IEC standards where 1KiB = 1024 bytes and 1KB = 1000 bytes. A lot of websites still refer to 1KB as 1024 bytes. If you do not receive the file size you are looking for try downloading the other variant.

These files are generated locally on your device, these downloads will not accurately reflect your download speed. If you are looking to test your network use the network downloaded test files instead.

Browser features missing: It seems your browser does not support the features required to generate files locally on your device, this page is unlikely to work.

You way want to use the network downloaded test files instead.
