Why TrueFileSize is different
Sample files that prove their size
Many sample-file sites use filenames like sample-10mb.pdf even when the real file is much smaller. TrueFileSize publishes valid files with measured byte sizes, so upload limits, parsers, CI checks, and download tests behave like production.
Measured bytes
Each file card exposes the exact byte count, MIME type, and stable download URL.
Browse sizesValid formats
Files are generated as real PDFs, images, videos, archives, data files, and documents.
