How to use Novus Examples
A two-minute tour of everything the site can do.
- 1
Browse the library
Start from Browse or pick a category — Images, Audio, Documents, Data, or Templates. Each category groups its files into subcategories like noise sets, format sets, and encodings.
- 2
Read the spec sheet
Open any file to see its exact properties — dimensions, noise sigma and seed, silence timestamps, form fields, encoding, or formulas. You are testing against a documented input, not a mystery file.
- 3
Download the file
Every file page has exactly one download button. Files are served from stable, permanent URLs, so you can also link to them from a README or fetch them in CI.
- 4
Use pairs for before/after
Many files have a 1:1 pair — a clean image and its noisy version, or a scanned document and its text twin. Use one as input and the other as the ground truth you score against.
- 5
Find files by purpose
Not sure where to look? Browse by purpose collects fixtures by what you're testing — denoise filters, CSV parsers, OCR, auto-trim, and more.
- 6
Search everything
Use the search (or press ⌘K / Ctrl+K anywhere) to find files by name, format, or purpose.
- 7
Edit text files in the browser
Text-based files open in the editorwith syntax highlighting. Edit and download the result — nothing is uploaded. Look for “Open in editor” on eligible file pages.
- 8
Try the live forms
The Forms section has live, interactive form examples with real validation and copyable source — targets for testing scrapers, autofill, and form parsers.
