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).

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 Sales 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).

You can also configure webhook, which will send an alert when infected file is found.

NSFW moderation

Contact Sales if you need to enable NSFW moderation.
