The fine print, kept simple

Free files. Open possibilities.

Original samples under CC0, plus clearly credited public-domain media for testing.

A sample file should make your work easier. That includes knowing you can use it.

Original sample files are shared under CC0

We generate original fixtures for Teak Sample Files. To the extent permitted by law, we waive copyright and related rights in these original samples under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication ↗.

You can copy, modify, distribute and use these original sample files, including for commercial purposes, without asking permission or giving attribution.

Know where your sample comes from

Generated images use original patterns. Generated videos and audio use synthesized content. Documents and data contain fictional sample content. We also include selected public-domain media where available. Sourced files carry source and license notes on their download page; those notes govern the sourced material.

NASA Earth footage

Earth time-lapse footage is adapted from ISS Expedition 42 Time Lapse Video of Earth, credited to NASA/JSC. NASA media generally is not subject to copyright in the United States. Please follow the NASA media usage guidelines, acknowledge NASA as the source, and do not imply NASA endorsement. This sourced footage is separate from our original CC0 fixtures.

Built for testing

These samples are provided as-is for testing, demonstration and development. They are not production datasets or reference standards. File sizes reflect the actual generated files, and variations may use different dimensions, durations or amounts of content.

About this website

Our CC0 dedication applies to the original files we generate. Sourced media retains the terms stated in its source notes. Teak names and branding remain with their respective owners. The library is inspired by the familiar format-first browsing experience of sample file websites.
