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 MOV

Phone footage stores its orientation as a rotation flag instead of rotating the pixels. A pipeline that ignores the flag produces sideways video.
Phones upload MOV by default, so an allow-list that names only video/mp4 rejects the most common video a mobile user has.
