Our key features...

customize your upload widget image

Drag-and-Drop uploads

Our responsive upload widget allows your users to upload files with ease. Files are delivered with blazing fast speed via a global content delivery network (CDN).

Change the widget's icon, size, and colors to integrate with your existing UI. No CSS is needed. See how it works here.

Secure cloud storage

We know how difficult S3 is to set up and manage, so we've done it for you. We store files in redundant high-security, high-availability data centers. Files are also stored across two different service providers. Cloud storage is included for free for all customers.

Multiple file uploads

Don't limit your users to single file uploads! Want to allow your users to upload multiple forms to your job board? Or images to a real estate app? We do that. Upload up to 50 files at a time. Check out our tutorial.

Resize images before upload

Do you have a problem with users uploading large images? Are you wasting costly storage space? If your app is becoming expensive and slow to run, we can help.

Configure the upload widget to resize images to the same size before uploading them to the cloud. Start saving time and money now.
