About these samples

These are synthetic sample files for testing and learning. They are not real user documents and are not intended to contain personal data. A matching SHA-256 confirms you received the published bytes — it is not a malware scan or a guarantee that every application will accept the file.

File information

Format: MP4 Video
Extension: .mp4
MIME type: video/mp4
Category: Video
License: Free for testing and development

Common test uses

Video upload limits: Confirm forms accept MP4 and enforce byte caps.
Player and preview QA: Smoke-test HTML5 video and thumbnail pipelines.
Checksum-backed CI: Pin SHA-256 for reproducible video fixtures.

What's in these MP4 samples

Published ladder includes 360p, 720p, and 1080p size targets. Checked examples: example-360p-500kb.mp4 is 640×360, H.264 + AAC, about 12 seconds; example-720p-1mb.mp4 is 1280×720, H.264 + AAC, about 14 seconds. Resolution labels match measured height. Durations are not identical across every size — measure the variant you pin in tests. Jump to a common pick: 1080p samples.

Limitations

Playback depends on codec support (these samples use H.264 + AAC). Container support alone does not guarantee every browser or device will play every file. Durations vary by variant.

What you can test with these MP4 samples

This ladder covers 360p, 720p, and 1080p size targets for video upload forms, HTML5 players, and processing jobs. Inspected examples use H.264 video with AAC audio; resolution labels match measured height on the checked files.

Choose a 1080p MP4 when you need a common “large HD” fixture, or a smaller 360p file for quick smoke tests. Durations vary by variant — measure the file you pin rather than assuming every size shares the same length.

Playback is likely in modern browsers that support H.264 + AAC, but codec support still varies by device. Container type alone is not a universal guarantee.

What Is an MP4 Example File?

An MP4 example file here is a sample MPEG-4 video fixture for upload limits, player QA, and processing pipelines. Files are labeled by resolution (360p / 720p / 1080p) and approximate size so you can match common test scenarios without hunting filenames.

These samples use H.264 video with AAC audio. Most modern browsers play that combination via HTML5 video, but codec support still varies by device — treat playback as “likely,” not universal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are MP4 example files free?

Yes. Published MP4 samples are free to download.

Will these play in a browser?

These samples use H.264 video with AAC audio. Most modern browsers can play that combination with HTML5 <video>, but support still depends on the device and decoder — container type alone is not a guarantee. Confirm with the variant you pin in tests.
