## What it is
FileAPI is a JavaScript library providing tools for working with files in the browser, including multiupload, drag'n'drop, and chunked file upload. It also offers client-side image manipulation such as crop, resize, preview generation, and auto-orientation via EXIF data.

## Use cases
- upload multiple files from the browser with progress tracking
- implement drag and drop file uploads
- upload large files in chunks
- generate image previews before upload
- resize and crop images client-side
- auto-rotate images based on EXIF orientation
- filter files by type or dimensions before uploading

## When to choose
- you need robust legacy-browser file upload support including Flash fallback
- you want client-side image resizing or EXIF-based orientation before upload
- you need chunked uploads for large files without a heavy framework

## When to avoid
- you are building a modern app and prefer native File APIs or actively maintained upload libraries
- you need framework-integrated components like React dropzones
- you require long-term support, as the project has seen little activity since 2020
