Sample files you can hotlink or download

You are testing something that takes files, and you need a file to feed it. Say a PDF with three pages. Every file here has a URL, so you can hotlink it from a page or a test, or download it and run offline.

Here is one:

https://loremfile.dev/pdf/a4-3pages.pdf

Paste it into a browser. There is no signup, and no key to send.

The files are CC0, so copying one into your own repository is fine. Each has a SHA-256 in our manifest, and your test can compare it with what it downloaded. A published URL never changes its bytes, so a hash you save today still matches next month.

Want to fetch files from code? There are four ways:

We check the live site from outside every day. The results are public on the status page.

By task

Use it from anywhere

JavaScript

const response = await fetch("https://loremfile.dev/json/people-1000.json");
const people = await response.json();

Python

import urllib.request

with urllib.request.urlopen("https://loremfile.dev/csv/people-1000.csv") as response:
    data = response.read()

curl

curl -O https://loremfile.dev/pdf/a4-3pages.pdf

For agents

Read llms.txt for a short summary, llms-full.txt for every file, or manifest.json for sizes, hashes and measured properties. Each format also has its own list at /{format}/index.json.
