File uploading

You can upload any file type, from almost any source, using a variety of upload options

  • Built-in storage and CDN
  • Uploading acceleration network
  • Multipart uploading up to 5 TB per file
  • File analysis and moderation
  • Authenticated uploading process
  • Unlimited scalability on demand
  • API clients for popular platforms

Upload files from almost any source using API or beautiful UI file uploaders. Receive and store: user-generated content, programmatically uploaded media, large files to be later optimized, etc.

Once uploaded, files become instantly accessible on our CDN via their unique and unguessable URLs. Deliver them with the set of image optimization and transformation operations, or manage via REST API.

import { uploadFile } from '@uploadcare/upload-client'

// fileData must be `Blob`, `File`, `Buffer`, UUID, CDN URL or Remote URL
const result = await uploadFile(fileData, {
  publicKey: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY',
  store: 'auto',
  metadata: {
    subsystem: 'uploader',
    pet: 'cat'
  }
})
console.log(`URL: ${file.cdnUrl}`)
