This is a 948 KB sample MKV file — exactly 947,682 bytes, generated by us rather than scraped, so the size is deliberate and the contents are free of anyone else's copyright. 480 × 270 • 10s (480 × 270 · 10 s · 30 fps · H264 · AAC audio · 756 kbps). Use it to test an upload limit near 948 KB, to time a transfer, or as a fixture whose hash never changes.

Sizes here are decimal: 948 KB means 947,682 bytes, not 0.90 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 948 KB MKV file?

Upload size limits that sit near 948 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.
