What is Uppy ?

Uppy is a simple file uploading widget/library for the browser. It is so clean, simple and minimal. It allows users to focus only on the uploading files itself, rather than any other trivial issues.

Uppy is a sleek, modular JavaScript file uploader that integrates seamlessly with any application. It’s fast, has a comprehensible API and lets you worry about 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
