File validation and moderation
When uploading files to your project, you can validate the types of files you want to accept, and apply various checks after (e.g., virus checking).
Maximum file size
You can set the maximum file size accepted by API up to 5TB (5242880 MB).
The size of the uploaded file is limited by project settings. Configure your validation options in the Validation section.
Validate allowed file types
You can set up a project to only upload certain types of files. By default, all MIME file types can be uploaded to the project.
You can validate uploads by allowing only specific file types:
- audio
- documents
- fonts
- images
- video
Configure your validation options in the Validation section.
Contact our sales team if you need to enable precise MIME type moderation.
Malware protection
Uploadcare automatically detects infected or malicious files, preventing your users from uploading them and helping you avoid distributing such files. Turning Malware protection on will make sure your app is secure and compliant. All files are checked by ClamAV (open-source antivirus engine).

Unsafe content detection
Detect and identify inappropriate, unwanted, NSFW, or offensive user-generated content in order to enhance user safety, ensure brand integrity, and comply with local and global regulations.
