BIN test files, any size.

Set a size and generate a structurally valid BIN immediately. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.

Exact size

BIN, built to spec.

Each file is raw bytes with no container at all. The size you ask for is reached with the entire file is pseudo-random printable bytes, so the result opens in hex editors like HxD or xxd, and Python's open() in binary mode. Most people generate these for measuring throughput and testing hard byte limits.

Questions.

How small can a BIN file be?

About 1 byte. Below that the format cannot carry its mandatory structure, let alone padding.

Will the file open normally?

Yes — it opens in hex editors like HxD or xxd, and Python's open() in binary mode, because the padding lives in the entire file is pseudo-random printable bytes.

Can I ask for an unusual size?

Any byte count above the minimum works, including values like 3,145,728 or 27.5 MB. Drag the caliper or type the number.
