Frequently Asked Questions
What MP4 variants are available?
Size-targeted (1MB to 500MB), resolution variants (480p to 4K), orientation (landscape, portrait/vertical 1080×1920, square 1080×1080), codecs (H.264, H.265/HEVC), 60fps high frame rate, and silent (no audio). All generated with test patterns — royalty-free, no attribution required.
Vertical video for TikTok and Instagram — Which file to use?
Use sample-portrait.mp4 (1080×1920, 9:16 aspect ratio) — the standard vertical video format for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat. The square variant sample-square.mp4 (1080×1080) works for Instagram feed posts and Facebook. Both test portrait orientation detection in video players.
H.264 vs H.265 — What is the difference?
H.265 (HEVC) provides ~50% better compression than H.264 at the same quality — smaller files or better quality at the same size. However, H.264 has universal browser support (100%), while H.265 is limited to Safari, Edge, and Chrome with hardware decoder. For web use, H.264 is the safe default. Our sample-h264.mp4 and sample-h265.mp4 let you compare both.
Do these MP4 files have audio?
Most files include a stereo AAC audio track at 128kbps with a generated test tone. The sample-silent.mp4 has no audio track — useful for testing autoplay behavior (browsers require muted for autoplay), silent background videos, and video-only processing pipelines.
How do I test with 60fps and 4K video?
sample-60fps.mp4 (1080p at 60 frames/second) tests high frame rate rendering — important for gaming content, sports, and smooth UI animations. sample-4k.mp4 (3840×2160) tests 4K support in players, CDNs, and adaptive bitrate streaming. Both stress-test decoding performance on mobile devices.
How do I test video upload with large files?
Start with sample-10mb.mp4 for basic testing, sample-100mb.mp4 for upload limits and progress bars, sample-500mb.mp4 for timeout handling and chunked upload resume. Test the portrait variant for mobile upload flows and the silent variant for autoplay use cases.
