Uploadcare File Uploader is a plug-and-play widget for scalable and secure file uploads. Enable your customers to easily upload documents, images, or videos through quick integration and configuration, instead of months in development.
👋 Hey, Product Hunt! Igor here, co-founder @ Uploadcare
Today, I'm excited to introduce our new stack-agnostic File Uploader 1.0, created with developers in mind (as always!)
A big thanks to @kevin for hunting us – we truly appreciate your support 💛
It all started with a simple need: seamless, secure file uploads that just work without the engineering headaches. Back when we started, no solution met our high standards for flexibility and reliability, so we built our own. But times change, and so have we. With 12 years of experience and countless real-world use cases under our belt, we’ve reinvented our flagship solution.
Meet the new Uploadcare File Uploader, designed for the demands of today:
🧩 Works with the frameworks you love – We built File Uploader using Web Components, which integrates effortlessly with any tech stack. Say goodbye to wrestling with wrappers and adapters.
🎨 Customizable – Tailor the uploader to match your brand and create a fit organically with robust options for branding and localization.
🫂 Smooth user experience – Support for 14+ upload sources, image editing, and advanced accessibility features means your users will love interacting with it.
🚓 Rock-solid security – We've baked in tools to automatically detect and filter inappropriate content, block malware, and ensure only trusted users can upload files.
Who File Uploader is for?
💻 Developers: Quickly integrate file uploads into any website or app with pre-made boilerplates for React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, or plain JavaScript and TypeScript.
🧑🎨 Founders & bootstrappers: Enable your customers to easily upload files—documents, images, or videos—without a deep technical background. Start small with a free tier that offers everything you need for file uploading and storage, then scale effortlessly as your business grows.
👓 Product managers: Speed up time-to-market by offloading file uploading to focus on shipping features, not reinventing infrastructure.

Working in one of startups that rely on Uploadcare for it’s daily product and marketing operations, I don’t know if I can be more satisfied with the product—but apparently this new file uploader will give us much more freedom to customize the user experience. Niiice!
P.S. That ever-growing beard in the video is fun 😂
@kevin@igordebatur this is cool, would it have any value for end users instead of business.
Like the idea, thinking where I can integrate it in daily things.

@mfonobong_umondia thanks a lot! we put a lot of effort into creating a clean and intuitive UI, so it's great to know it's hitting the mark – if you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out!
I used uploadcare about 2 years ago, it was a small project but man it was fun! Hoping to get another opportunity to use it! Well done team, wishing you #1
@ianvanpaio thank you Ian, no better time to come back than now 😄 File Uploader only kept evolving for these past 2 years and we couldn't be more proud of the result. Hopefully see you soon and have a great day!
Congrats on the launch! I've been using Uploadcare for years and in different projects. Currently using only your CDN, but maybe we need file uploader as well.
Hey Fedor! Wow, it's incredible to hear from you! You've been with us since the very beginning – as one of our first ten clients – we're so grateful for your support over the years and thrilled that our CDN has been a part of your projects.
Thanks for being such an important part of our journey @fedor_tyurin ✨ 💛 ✨
Congrats on the launch, Uploadcare team! 🎉 How customizable is the File Uploader for different use cases, and are there built-in features for handling large files or optimizing upload speeds?
Thanks so much for the congrats, @vietpham! 🎉 The File Uploader is highly customizable to fit a wide range of use cases. You can easily adjust the look and feel to match your branding, and even customize the uploader’s behavior to suit your workflow — everything from picking files from third-party services like Dropbox or Google Photos to setting file validation rules.
As for large files, Uploader automatically utilizes Transfer Acceleration, which can boost upload speeds by up to 50-500% for large files, especially when transferring over long distances. And all of this happens without any additional configuration — it just works.
Love Uploadcare. We use it for our platform and the dashboard UI is great. The implementation was simple and straightforward, and we've never had any complaints on the usage. Works flawlessly for us.
@federicojorge thanks so much! 🙌 We’re glad you loved the video. The team put a lot of heart into making it both fun and informative. Stay tuned, there’s more to come! 🎉
Congrats on the launch! I really loved how effortlessly you explained such complex features. It looks like a powerful and impressive tool—definitely going to give it a try!
They say, if you build one thing really well, people will buy it. Uploadcore is such a great example of this. If file uploading is a critical part of an app, but you don't want to invest the effort to build it or maintain it, this is a great shortcut like their tagline says.
Congrats on the launch @igordebatur and team!
Uploadcare File Uploader sounds like an incredibly useful tool for businesses that need secure and scalable file upload solutions. With its plug-and-play widget, it seems like it significantly reduces the time and effort spent on integrating a file upload system, which is often a time-consuming task.
Allowing customers to upload documents, images, or videos with ease is essential for any platform that handles media or documents. The fact that it offers quick integration instead of lengthy development processes is a major win, especially for startups or teams looking to scale without investing heavily in building custom solutions.
Is the uploader customizable to fit different branding needs, and how does it handle large files or media-heavy uploads?
Congrats on the launch, I watched a YouTube recently by Jamin on how to set up and initialize the uploadcare, and it’s was quite intriguing how straight to the point it was.
@deanmaj thanks Dean, I'm sure Jamin will be happy to hear this. Jamin and I will host a webinar on 10th of October, if you'd like to dive deeper into our product. Here's the registration page: https://streamyard.com/teams/kHg...
Hey, Product Hunt community ✨
Funny story—I was an Uploadcare fan long before I ever joined the team. In fact, I was that client who tried all the competitors, only to realize they just didn’t cut it. The struggle was real, and then I found Uploadcare. It was like discovering a secret cheat code for image processing and file uploading.
Naturally, when the opportunity came up to work with the same folks behind the product that saved me so much time and energy, I jumped at it. Now, here I am, part of an incredible team that lives and breathes modern tooling excellence.
This new File Uploader is the result of a lot of love, code, and coffee. We’ve optimized it to be even faster, more flexible, and honestly, just plain fun to work with. I’m ridiculously proud of what we’ve built—because I’ve been on the other side, and I know this makes life easier for devs, product managers, and anyone tired of file handling headaches 🚀🛠️
@leomofthings This is awesome! Our team is working hard to make it easy for you to implement and use. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any additional resources or help.
Would love to hear more about your projects
We are just implementing their service into our application and so far it's ticking all the boxes.
We did quite a bit of research into the different platforms and Uploadcare seemed like the most complete solution.
