Free datasets for practice and projects
Search thousands of public datasets from Hugging Face, Zenodo and government open data portals such as data.gov.uk — in one place. Every result shows the license, format, size and last update, so you know whether you can use the data before you download it.

What it can do
- One search across Hugging Face, Zenodo and data.gov.uk. The Serbian open data portal is in the Source filter.

- The license is always visible: commercial use allowed, non-commercial only, or not specified.
- No sign-up. Files are downloaded from the original source, not from us.
Questions
- Are the datasets free?
- Yes. We only search open sources, and the search itself is free with no sign-up. Some sources may ask you to sign in on their own site to download a file.
- Can I use the data commercially?
- It depends on the license of each dataset, and we show it on every result. Use the filter to see only datasets that allow commercial use. If a source gives no license, we say so and leave the dataset out of that filter.
- Where are the files downloaded from?
- From the original source. We don't copy or host the files — the "Open at source" button takes you to the page where the dataset is published.
- What formats are there?
- CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQL dumps and others — the format is shown on every result and can be used as a filter.
- Which datasets are good for practice?
- For Power BI and Excel — sales, orders and HR data with dates and categories. For SQL — databases with several linked tables. For machine learning — labeled data with a clear target column.
