The tus resumable upload protocol is an open HTTP-based protocol specification for reliable, resumable file uploads that can be interrupted and continued from where they failed. This repository contains the protocol specification itself, plus an OpenAPI description, rather than a runnable client or server implementation.

Use cases

  • resume interrupted file uploads after network drops
  • implement a resumable upload server in any language
  • build a file uploader that supports pause and resume
  • upload large videos over unreliable mobile networks
  • generate tus-compatible clients and servers from an OpenAPI spec
  • standardize file upload handling across platforms

When to choose

  • you need reliable uploads over flaky or mobile networks
  • you want a language-agnostic, HTTP-based upload standard with many existing implementations
  • you need pause/resume support for large file uploads
  • you want a minimal, extensible protocol rather than a heavyweight SDK

When to avoid

  • you need a ready-made client or server library rather than a specification
  • your uploads are small and rarely fail, making resumability unnecessary
  • you need non-HTTP transports or exotic upload semantics outside the protocol's scope
