06FAQ

What is a test PDF file?

A test PDF is a valid, well-formed PDF file used for software testing — verifying file upload handlers, parser libraries, rendering engines, OCR pipelines, and security tooling. ExamplePDF provides pre-made test PDFs in exact sizes plus purpose-classified collections for specific engineering workflows.

Do I need to create an account to download?

No. Every file on ExamplePDF downloads instantly without registration, email, or payment. The site is free and ad-supported by nothing — there are no ads in v1.

What sizes are available?

11 preset sizes from 1 KB to 100 MB: 1 KB, 10 KB, 100 KB, 500 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 5 MB, 10 MB, 20 MB, 50 MB, and 100 MB. For arbitrary sizes (e.g., 7.5 MB), use the generator.

Can I generate a PDF with specific properties?

Yes. The generator accepts target size (1 KB–100 MB), page count (1–100), embedded images toggle, fill language, and form-field toggle. Files up to 10 MB generate in-browser; larger files stream from the server.

Is there an API?

Yes. GET /api/pdf accepts size, type, pages, images, lang, and form parameters. No API key is required. Rate limit is 100 requests per minute per IP. See /api for full documentation.
