What is in this file

A 301 × 226 lossless test card coded with literal pixels only, so the size is set by the pixel count. 554 bytes of XMP metadata, most of it standard whitespace padding, bring the file to the exact size.

Dimensions	301 × 226 px
Encoding	Lossless (VP8L)
Container	Extended (VP8X) with XMP metadata
Transparency	No
Animated	No

First bytes of the file

The first 64 bytes of sample-webp-200kb.webp as a hex dump: offset, bytes, then the same bytes as text. The WebP signature is 52 49 46 46 ?? ?? ?? ?? 57 45 42 50.

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.

Use this file for

Checking email size handling
Testing image CDNs and optimisation
Testing whether upload forms accept modern formats

Testing notes for WebP

Sniffers that read only the first four bytes see RIFF and may confuse WebP with WAV or AVI.
Allow-lists written years ago often contain only JPEG, PNG and GIF, so WebP uploads fail on otherwise working forms.

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 WebP file?: A 301 × 226 lossless test card coded with literal pixels only, so the size is set by the pixel count. 554 bytes of XMP metadata, most of it standard whitespace padding, bring the file to the exact size.
Are the sample WebP files lossy or lossless?: Lossless. They use the VP8L bitstream in an extended container with a small XMP metadata chunk.
