You might be building a personal project, startup or another Facebook. To get there faster and check how your ideas work out, you want to use complete and scalable building blocks for different parts of your system. Uploadcare is your block for handling files. From just a couple to millions. With only a few lines of code you get the ability to upload, store, process, cache, and deliver files.

@karlclement Thanks for the hunt. Uploadcare 3.0 is a major update affecting almost every element of the Uploadcare ecosystem. File uploads — our widget has been completely redesigned and updated to the version 3.x Storage — we support all S3 regions and provide better uploading experience with improved REST API, Secure Uploads, Auto-Copy for custom S3 storage, and updated backup procedures Processing — face recognition, color extraction, image enhancement and processing, GIF to video, and the fastest image resize (https://blog.uploadcare.com/the-...) for x86 out there: on all plans including the free one Delivery — we selected Akamai as our primary content delivery network to get your content to 220k servers in 130 countries real quick Libs & Integrations — our community and the Uploadcare team are constantly adding new libs and integration options (https://uploadcare.com/documenta...) to seamlessly work with your ecosystem

Great product, as a founder-level developer (admit it - average :) i struggled with uploads to S3. Sometime later i learned about Uploadcare and decided to try - and was amazed by simplicity of integration, snappy speed, and great support service they provide. Highly recommend to any startup with the need to upload&store media.

@almasabulkhairov thank you! This is the best motivation for us to move further and to keep building the best file handling API on the market 🔥

Cheers! Have been using uploadcare for years now and since haven't had a headache about image processing, uploads, user avatars and other stuff. Even write an uploadcare-loader for webpack to handle static assets: https://blog.uploadcare.com/supe...

@roman_dubinin thank you so much! we value our community, there are tons of great things that community helped us to do, and we'll give back! a lot of open-source stuff is scheduled for this and the next year 🙌🏻

I currently upload to s3 using just the AWS SDK. This does the job but as I'm MVPing right now, I just have single file upload and the UX isn't great (no feedback to let the user know what's going on etc). 1) Would this product do some of the heavy lifting for me? 2) Could I use my existing S3 bucket? @igordebatur
Igor Debatur
Maker
@mickc79 Yes and yes. You'll get an uploading widget that can put files to your own S3 bucket. Most of our customers use our storage since it simpler to set up, but UC is flexible. We would be glad to have you on board!

@mickc79 Mick, yup, we can do the heavy lifting for you and you can use your own bucket for uploads. There are few ways to configure this, so please contact us for more instructions when you have time to play around with the service.

@mojololol @igordebatur Guys, kudos on the great responses on here and also on your site (I emailed support). This is a great product but it's not for me right now. My file uploading requirements are a bit too custom for me to invest the time re-writing the functionality with uploadcare. Once I prove the concept works for my product I will likely be back!
Dmitry Mukhin
Maker
@mickc79 if you could describe your use case in an email, I could try to give you the estimations on what it'll take to use Uploadcare instead of simple S3. In most cases, it's worth it :)

We use Uploadcare to handle user generated content from the very beginning of SplitMetrics, it has saved us tons of time, money and focus. Thumbs up!

Joshua Pinter
@mojololol I'd switch over to you guys for all our video transcoding needs if you can get it implemented.

@nusususuzu we believe that the good product must be beautiful both inside and outside and try to keep it that way, thanks!

@akorenevski thanks Alex! We're always glad to help.

Uploadcare has been one of the best investments we've made. Loving the revamped design of version 3.0! Thanks Uploadcare team!
Roman Sedykh
Since we built our own soficticated upload-processing-storage-delivery system in 2011, we never did it again, because we switched to Uploadcare and never regreted it. All projects we (digital agency) created had Uploadcare under the hood. Saved us at least 2 weeks per each project and added value to our clients (mostly image enhancement features which they didn't expect).

@rsedykh thanks! we're so happy to see many webdev agencies use Uploadcare nowadays to provide their customers more features and to ship new products faster
