## What it is
Uppload is a JavaScript/TypeScript widget for image and file uploading on the web, with 30+ tree-shakeable plugins for file selection services, image editing effects, and upload backends. It works with any backend and requires no backend of its own.

## Use cases
- add an image upload widget to a website
- let users upload profile pictures with cropping
- upload files from sources like Instagram or drag-and-drop
- compress and edit images before uploading
- send uploads to my own backend endpoint via XHR

## When to choose
- you need a customizable, plugin-based image uploader in a browser app
- you want file selection from many services plus client-side editing
- you want a frontend-only uploader that works with any backend

## When to avoid
- you need a full backend-managed upload service like Uploadcare
- you only need simple native file input without UI
- you need non-browser (Node.js server-side) uploading

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-upload, image-processing, ui-components, plugin-system
- domain: web-development, frontend, files
- platform: browser
- tags: image-uploader, widget, drag-and-drop, image-editor, no-backend, tree-shaking, internationalization, javascript, typescript, nodejs
