Uppy is a sleek, modular JavaScript file uploader that integrates seamlesslywith any application. It’s fast, has a comprehensible API and lets you worryabout more important problems than building a file uploader.
- Fetch files from local disk, remote URLs, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box,Instagram or snap and record selfies with a camera
- Preview and edit metadata with a nice interface
- Upload to the final destination, optionally process/encode
Uppy is being developed by the folks atTransloadit,a versatile API to handle any file in your app.

- Lightweight, modular plugin-based architecture, light on dependencies ⚡
- Resumable file uploads via the opentus standard, so largeuploads survive network hiccups
- Supports picking files from: Webcam, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Instagram,bypassing the user’s device where possible, syncing between servers directlyvia@uppy/companion
- Works great with file encoding and processing backends, such asTransloadit, works great without (all you need isto roll your own Apache/Nginx/Node/FFmpeg/etc backend)
- Sleek user interface ✨
- Optional file recovery (after a browser crash) withGolden Retriever
- Speaks several languages (i18n) 🌍
- Built with accessibility in mind
- Free for the world, forever (as in beer 🍺, pizza 🍕, and liberty 🗽)
- Cute as a puppy, also accepts cat pictures 🐶
npm install @uppy/core @uppy/dashboard @uppy/tus
Add CSSuppy.min.css,either to your HTML page’s<head>
or include in JS, if your bundler of choicesupports it.
Alternatively, you can also use a pre-built bundle from Transloadit’s CDN: SmartCDN. In that caseUppy
will attach itself to the globalwindow.Uppy
object.
⚠️ The bundle consists of most Uppy plugins, so this method is not recommendedfor production, as your users will have to download all plugins when you arelikely using only a few.
<!-- 1. Add CSS to `<head>` --><linkhref="https://releases.transloadit.com/uppy/v4.15.0/uppy.min.css"rel="stylesheet"/><!-- 2.

We aim to support recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Having no JavaScript beats having a lot of it, so that’s a fair question!Running an uploading & encoding business for ten years though we found that incases, the file input leaves some to be desired:
- We received complaints about broken uploads and found that resumable uploadsare important, especially for big files and to be inclusive towards people onpoorer connections (we also launchedtus.io to attack thatproblem). Uppy uploads can survive network outages and browser crashes oraccidental navigate-aways.
- Uppy supports editing meta information before uploading.
- Uppy allows cropping images before uploading.
- There’s the situation where people are using their mobile devices and want toupload on the go, but they have their picture on Instagram, files in Dropboxor a plain file URL from anywhere on the open web. Uppy allows to pick filesfrom those and push it to the destination without downloading it to yourmobile device first.
- Accurate upload progress reporting is an issue on many platforms.
- Some file validation — size, type, number of files — can be done on the clientwith Uppy.
- Uppy integrates webcam support, in case your users want to upload apicture/video/audio that does not exist yet :)
- A larger drag and drop surface can be pleasant to work with. Some people alsolike that you can control the styling, language, etc.
- Uppy is aware of encoding backends. Often after an upload, the server needs torotate, detect faces, optimize for iPad, or what have you. Uppy can trackprogress of this and report back to the user in different ways.
- Sometimes you might want your uploads to happen while you continue to interacton the same single page.
Not all apps need all these features. An<input type="file">
is fine in manysituations. But these were a few things that our customers hit / asked aboutenough to spark us to develop Uppy.
Transloadit’s team is small and we have a shared ambition to make a living fromopen source. By giving away projects liketus.io andUppy, we’re hoping to advance the state of the art, make lifea tiny little bit better for everyone and in doing so have rewarding jobs andget some eyes on our commercial service:a content ingestion & processing platform.
Our thinking is that if only a fraction of our open source userbase can see theappeal of hosted versions straight from the source, that could already be enoughto sustain our work. So far this is working out! We’re able to dedicate 80% ofour time to open source and haven’t gone bankrupt yet. :D
Yes, please check out thedocs for moreinformation.
Yes, whatever you want on the backend will work with@uppy/xhr-upload
plugin,since it only does aPOST
orPUT
request. Here’s aPHP backend example.
If you want resumability with the Tus plugin, useone of the tus server implementations 👌🏼
And you’ll need@uppy/companion
if you’dlike your users to be able to pick files from Instagram, Google Drive, Dropboxor via direct URLs (with more services coming).
