Implement custom workflows for your uploaded files.
- Arbitrary file metadata management
- Webhooks for various events

| Article | Description |
|---|---|
| File metadata | File metadata is additional, arbitrary key-value data associated with uploaded files. For example, you could store a unique file identifier from your system. |
| Webhooks | Uploadcare uses webhooks to notify your application about certain events that occur in your project asynchronously. |
| S3 bucket integration | Connect an Amazon S3 bucket to one or more of your Uploadcare projects to implement custom file workflows, integrated deeply into your system. |
| Storage backups | Automatically copy all of you stored files to a custom S3 bucket. Connect the storage once, and the system will do backups on a timely basis. |
| Add-ons | Application implemented by Uploadcare that accepts uploaded files and process them with 3rd party services, like video encoding or background removal. |
| REST API | Low-level access to Uploadcare features, e.g. CRUD files and their metadata, receive webhooks, and run add-ons. |
| API integrations | You don't have to code most of the low-level API integrations. We have high-level libraries for all popular platforms. |
