Sample TSV file

A ready-made example TSV file for testing tab-delimited importers and data-warehouse loads. Here is exactly what you get, then download it at whatever size you need.

What's inside

ID	First_Name	Last_Name	Email	Company	City
1	James	Smith	james.smith@company.com	Acme Corp	Austin
2	Emma	Johnson	emma.johnson@work.org	TechStart Inc	Chicago
3	Liam	Williams	liam.williams@gmail.com	Global Solutions	Dallas

Fields are never quoted because a tab cannot appear inside a value, so every line has exactly the header column count.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a valid TSV file?

Every row is complete and parses cleanly in any TSV reader.

Is the data real?

No. Every name, email address, phone number and company in the file is generated placeholder content. Nothing here relates to a real person, so it is safe to commit to a repository or share with a team.

Can I use it in a commercial project?

Yes. The files are free to use however you like, including in commercial and closed-source work. No attribution required.

Do I need to sign up?

No account, no email, no limit on downloads.
