Google Photos Picker integration updated
{widget}
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.

Adaptive bitrate streaming
{cdn}
Uploadcare now supports optimized video streaming with HLS, delivering adaptive video quality based on device capabilities and connection speed. Upload a video and get an instant streaming link.
Uploads from Instagram deprecated
{widget}
As of December 4, 2024, uploads from public Instagram accounts via File Uploader and jQuery Uploader are no longer supported. This change is due to Meta’s decision to discontinue the Instagram Basic Display API for external developers.
All other upload methods and sources, including Facebook, Google Photos, Dropbox, and more, continue to work as usual.
Analytics section updates
{dashboard}
We’ve improved the Analytics section in the Dashboard:
- Overview tiles were added on the top of the section.
- A new period picker lets you filter data by 30, 60, 90 days or billing period.
- The graph of popular files has become a graph of popular URLs. Now, it shows transactions and warns about unoptimized distribution.
Data Privacy Framework
{legal}
We have adopted the Data Privacy Framework to ensure Uploadcare uses appropriate data protection safeguards when transferring data from the EU to third countries.

Recording video from the camera
{widget}
Added camera video recording functionality for the camera source:
- Settings to turn on and off sources: photo, video, or both.
- Settings to select the default photo/video source.
- Settings to choose the video source and audio source.
- Enable/disable audio recording during recording (e.g. mute the microphone).
- Preview the recorded video before uploading.
- Settings to select the maximum video duration with a countdown timer.
BlurHash
{cdn}
We’ve added a blurhash field to the -/json/ operation output.
Along with the image width and height in the same output, this allows for highly smooth image placeholders on pages and apps.
