👋 Hey, Product Hunt! Igor here, co-founder @ Uploadcare Today, I'm excited to introduce our new stack-agnostic File Uploader 1.0, created with developers in mind (as always!) A big thanks to @kevin for hunting us – we truly appreciate your support 💛 It all started with a simple need: seamless, secure file uploads that just work without the engineering headaches. Back when we started, no solution met our high standards for flexibility and reliability, so we built our own. But times change, and so have we. With 12 years of experience and countless real-world use cases under our belt, we’ve reinvented our flagship solution. Meet the new Uploadcare File Uploader, designed for the demands of today: 🧩 Works with the frameworks you love – We built File Uploader using Web Components, which integrates effortlessly with any tech stack. Say goodbye to wrestling with wrappers and adapters. 🎨 Customizable – Tailor the uploader to match your brand and create a fit organically with robust options for branding and localization. 🫂 Smooth user experience – Support for 14+ upload sources, image editing, and advanced accessibility features means your users will love interacting with it. 🚓 Rock-solid security – We've baked in tools to automatically detect and filter inappropriate content, block malware, and ensure only trusted users can upload files. Who File Uploader is for? 💻 Developers: Quickly integrate file uploads into any website or app with pre-made boilerplates for React, Next.js, Angular, Vue.js, Svelte, or plain JavaScript and TypeScript. 🧑‍🎨 Founders & bootstrappers: Enable your customers to easily upload files—documents, images, or videos—without a deep technical background. Start small with a free tier that offers everything you need for file uploading and storage, then scale effortlessly as your business grows. 👓 Product managers: Speed up time-to-market by offloading file uploading to focus on shipping features, not reinventing infrastructure. Today, Uploadcare is trusted by thousands of customers, from Zapier and PandaDoc to countless startups, because it empowers teams to focus on what really matters: building great products. To make it even easier, use promo code PH50 to get 50% off Pro and Business plans for the first 3 months!

Working in one of startups that rely on Uploadcare for it’s daily product and marketing operations, I don’t know if I can be more satisfied with the product—but apparently this new file uploader will give us much more freedom to customize the user experience. Niiice! P.S. That ever-growing beard in the video is fun 😂
Anastasiia Kataeva
@igorlukanin Thank you, Igor! And about that beard… yeah, it’s got its own growth plan going on. Soon it might need its own launch strategy! 😂
Pradhumn Vijayvargiya
@kevin @igordebatur this is cool, would it have any value for end users instead of business. Like the idea, thinking where I can integrate it in daily things.
Kirill Zverev
@prad_vv Hi and thanks for your support! We actually offer a free Demo plan, that is perfect for personal use and provides all the basic functionality you might need to enable file uploads in your personal projects. We do not require any credit card info for this and you can try right away https://app.uploadcare.com/accou... You can also expand to a fully featured 14-day trial, if you'd like to try more features.

Congrats on the launch! I've been using Uploadcare for years and in different projects. Currently using only your CDN, but maybe we need file uploader as well.
Tolya Chernyakov
Hey Fedor! Wow, it's incredible to hear from you! You've been with us since the very beginning – as one of our first ten clients – we're so grateful for your support over the years and thrilled that our CDN has been a part of your projects. Thanks for being such an important part of our journey @fedor_tyurin ✨ 💛 ✨
Dmitry Mukhin
@fedor_tyurin cheers mate

I can’t help but ask… Why? Why would someone pay to use this when they can integrate supabase or Firebase easily and quickly for free? I’m reading the comments and can see an obvious market (if you didn’t buy the comments online) but maybe there’s something I’m missing… it’s a widget for uploading files… Is there something else I’m not mentioning? P.S. Not hating just very confused…
Alex Gusev
@vashon_lorona_gonzales I totally get where you’re coming from — I had similar thoughts back in 2022! What I didn’t realize at first is that the File Uploader is just the entry point in the full lifecycle of file handling with Uploadcare. Beyond uploading, we take care of secure storage, virus scanning, and then optimize the file for delivery with features like smart quality (reducing image quality without visible loss) and auto format (choosing the best image format based on the user’s browser). And these are just few examples. All of this happens automatically, with zero configuration needed on your end — and it’s all delivered via a global CDN for optimal performance. You could definitely build something similar yourself, but it depends on how much time and resources you’re willing to spend on development, testing, and maintenance. And just to clear up any confusion, we didn’t buy the comments — we’re a profitable business with a real user base who value the time-saving and hassle-free approach we offer. Hope that helps clarify a bit!
Vashon Lorona Gonzales
@owenfar your response doesn’t make much sense. Supabase and Firebase can be used for file uploading through their sdks for free. That was the point I was trying to make
Vashon Lorona Gonzales
@alxgsv I can see the value for the time saving aspect with everything included. Like I said, not hating just confused. I’ll try it out. If it really helps with product development then you can count me as a new customer 😅
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Igor, How does the performance compare to building file uploads from scratch? Have you seen any benchmarks on upload speeds or resource usage? Congrats on the launch!
Alex Gusev
Great question, @kyrylosilin! When it comes to performance, File Uploader has a major advantage with Transfer Acceleration, which can boost upload speeds by 50-500% for large files, especially over long distances. Essentially, instead of uploading directly to the final destination, files are first routed through a server closer to the user — this is where the speed gains come into play. Compared to building a file upload system from scratch, all of this happens automatically with zero configuration needed on the developer’s side. Our customers often don’t even realize it’s happening — but they see the results :-) Setting up something like this from scratch would involve significant time for research, development, testing, and ongoing maintenance. Hope this helps clarify!

I’ve known and used this tool for many years. I strongly recommend implementing it if you have rich media on your website. Uploadcare cares about your website visitors – they deserve fast content uploading. Don’t make them wait for all the pictures and images to load. In short, it's a must-have tool for any webmaster or website owner. Congratulations to the @uploadcare team on this launch, and good luck!

Hey, Product Hunt community ✨ Funny story—I was an Uploadcare fan long before I ever joined the team. In fact, I was that client who tried all the competitors, only to realize they just didn’t cut it. The struggle was real, and then I found Uploadcare. It was like discovering a secret cheat code for image processing and file uploading. Naturally, when the opportunity came up to work with the same folks behind the product that saved me so much time and energy, I jumped at it. Now, here I am, part of an incredible team that lives and breathes modern tooling excellence. This new File Uploader is the result of a lot of love, code, and coffee. We’ve optimized it to be even faster, more flexible, and honestly, just plain fun to work with. I’m ridiculously proud of what we’ve built—because I’ve been on the other side, and I know this makes life easier for devs, product managers, and anyone tired of file handling headaches 🚀🛠️

The fact that it offers quick integration instead of lengthy development processes is a major win, especially for startups or teams looking to scale without investing heavily in building custom solutions.
