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: ZIP Archive
Extension: .zip
MIME type: application/zip
Category: Archives
License: Free for testing and development

Common test uses

Archive upload limits: Confirm forms and APIs accept ZIP uploads and enforce byte caps.
Extraction pipelines: Smoke-test unzip tools, CI jobs, and server-side extractors.
Checksum-backed CI: Pin SHA-256 so archive fixtures stay reproducible in automation.

What Is a ZIP Example File?

A ZIP example file is a sample compressed archive for testing and development.

ZIP is the most common archive format for uploads, downloads, and cross-platform extraction.

Notes about these ZIP samples

MIME type is application/zip. Archives are synthetic fixtures for QA.

Related archive fixtures: GZ, 7Z, TAR.

What you can test with these ZIP samples

Use ZIP downloads for archive upload forms, extraction pipelines, and antivirus or size-limit checks that accept compressed packages. Confirm Actual size and SHA-256 when a test must pin exact bytes.

Inspect member lists in your own tools when a scenario depends on file counts or nested paths. Password-protected ZIP fixtures are not claimed on this page unless published separately.
