Plupload is a cross-browser JavaScript API for building file uploaders, supporting multiple file selection, file filtering, chunked uploads, drag-and-drop, and client-side image resizing. It uses a multi-runtime architecture with fallbacks (Flash, Silverlight) for legacy browsers lacking HTML5 support.
Use cases
- upload large files in chunks from the browser
- build a customizable file uploader with progress indication
- resize images on the client before uploading
- support drag-and-drop file uploads
- upload files in legacy browsers without HTML5
- upload directly to Amazon S3
- filter files by type in a multi-file upload dialog
When to choose
- you need chunked uploads of very large files
- you must support old browsers via runtime fallbacks
- you want client-side image downsizing to save bandwidth
- you need a visually neutral uploader API you can fully customize
When to avoid
- you only target modern browsers and want a lighter, more modern uploader
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates
- AGPL-3.0 licensing is incompatible with your product without a commercial license
- you need first-class support for Flash/Silverlight-era runtimes going forward
