Deprecation notice: jQuery File Uploader
{widget}
We’re announcing that the jQuery File Uploader package is officially deprecated as of September 1, 2025. Moving forward, we will no longer release updates or new versions of this widget. Support will also be discontinued, except in cases where critical security vulnerabilities need to be addressed.
If you’re using jQuery File Uploader in your project, we recommend considering our web-component-based File Uploader, which contains all the latest features and updates.
We understand that this might affect your workflows, and we are committed to providing as much support as possible during this transition. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our support.
Update File Uploader now to avoid disruptions in Google Drive uploads
{widget}
Due to upcoming Google Drive security updates, any existing Google Drive integration with Uploadcare widgets running versions older than File Uploader v1.17.0 or jQuery widget v3.22.1 will stop functioning. These older versions will no longer support uploads from Google Drive.
To avoid any disruptions, please update to the latest version of the File Uploader or jQuery widget by July 25.
Please check whether your version requires migration. Then follow the step-by-step instructions in the migration guide.
If you have any technical challenges, send a request to our support.
Lightweight output format for PDF conversion
{conversion}
We’ve added small.jpg as an output format for PDF-to-JPG conversions.
It’s optimized for generating low-size multi-page PDFs (100+ pages) previews.

File Uploader mask for Cloud editor
{widget}
We’ve added support for defining a custom overlay mask in the Cloud editor using the cloudImageEditor.maskHref option.
This mask helps users crop their images to meet specific upload requirements — for example, when preparing avatars, profile pictures, or documents.

Google Photos Picker integration updated

We’ve updated and verified our integration with the Google Photos Picker API for File Uploader, adhering to recent guidelines from Google. End-users will continue to enjoy smooth and secure uploads from Google Photos, with no additional steps required on your part.
Filter by MIME type
{dashboard}
We’ve enhanced server-side MIME type filtering, giving you more flexibility to customize which file types can be uploaded. Now you have precise control to allow or block specific formats directly from the Dashboard.
Unsafe content moderation
{dashboard}
Uploadcare now supports automatic image moderation, allowing you to detect and filter unwanted, or offensive images in real time. Enable the Scan images on upload toggle in the Dashboard to automatically review all uploaded images, and customize moderation by selecting specific content categories.
Camera modes option
{widget}
We’ve added the cameraModes option, allowing users to capture and upload photos, videos, or both directly from their camera, with flexible mode selection.
