200 KB glTF sample

A glTF file of exactly 204,800 bytes. It is a valid GL Transmission Format file, generated by this site. Compare its checksum and test it with the parser used by your application. Use it wherever you need a 200 KB sample, test or dummy glTF file.

What is in this file

A glTF 2.0 scene with one mesh: a height-field terrain of 4,225 vertices and 8,192 triangles, stored in a base64 buffer inside the JSON. A padding string in the top-level "extras" member brings the file to the exact size.

Vertices	4,225
Triangles	8,192

Where 200 KB matters

A 204,800-byte file: twice the default body limit of most API frameworks, and a common cap for photo and signature uploads on application forms. These are the default limits a file of this size is useful for testing:

System	Limit	Note
Express body parsers	100 KB by default	Rejected with 413 unless the limit is raised.
Amazon DynamoDB items	400 KB per item	200 KB fits, even after base64 encoding takes it to about 273 KB.
Azure Service Bus, Standard tier	256 KB per message	Fits as raw bytes, but not once base64-encoded.

Testing notes for glTF

A file can declare extensions it requires, such as Draco mesh compression. A loader without that extension has to refuse the file.
A .gltf file often refers to separate .bin and texture files. Uploading the JSON alone gives a model with no geometry. The samples here embed their data, so one file is enough.

Questions about this file

Is this file exactly 200 KB?: Yes. It is 204,800 bytes, which is 200 KB in the binary units that operating systems and server limits use (1 KB = 1,024 bytes).
What is inside the 200 KB glTF file?: A glTF 2.0 scene with one mesh: a height-field terrain of 4,225 vertices and 8,192 triangles, stored in a base64 buffer inside the JSON. A padding string in the top-level "extras" member brings the file to the exact size.
What does the sample model look like?: A gently rolling surface, like a patch of terrain, built from indexed triangles. It carries vertex positions only: no normals, materials, textures or animation.
