This is a 540 KB sample HEIC file — exactly 540,184 bytes, generated by us rather than scraped, so the size is deliberate and the contents are free of anyone else's copyright. 1280 × 720 (1280 × 720). Use it to test an upload limit near 540 KB, to time a transfer, or as a fixture whose hash never changes.

Sizes here are decimal: 540 KB means 540,184 bytes, not 0.52 MiB. If your limit is expressed in binary units, check the exact byte count above before assuming this file is under it.

What can I test with a 540 KB HEIC file?

Upload size limits that sit near 540 KB, transfer timing, storage quotas, and any pipeline that behaves differently above or below a size threshold. Pick the file just under and just over your limit to find out whether the limit is inclusive.
