Stress-test territory — uncovers issues only large uploads produce, like progress jitter and OOM.
Are these files exactly 1GB?
This is a size-range page, not a claim that every file has the same byte count. It includes files between 800,000,000 and 1,500,000,000 bytes. Use the exact measured bytes and SHA-256 shown on each file card for boundary tests.
What formats are available at 1GB?
Archives, Test files. Each format includes multiple variants — different content, encoding, or properties — so you can match the exact case your app needs.
Do I need to sign up to download?
