A free library of 5,075 purpose-built example and test files across 27 categories, with exact specs, pairs, editable forms, visual templates, media creation, and live targets.
Every developer has the same folder somewhere: a few random JPEGs, a PDF from 2019, and an MP3 called test2-final.mp3. You reach for them whenever something needs a file to process, but you rarely know exactly what is inside them.
Novus Examples is that folder, organized properly. It includes 5,075 files across 27 categories. Each file is documented with its real specifications, and paired files are included where a comparison matters, so you can test a converter with a known input and expected output.
It is free for any use, with no account or attribution required.
What it is not: a stock library. These files exist as test inputs, not polished design assets. Some are deliberately awkward because awkward files are what break pipelines.
What file format keeps breaking your pipeline? That answer helps decide what I add next.
