## What it is
WebUploader is a JavaScript file upload component that uses HTML5 as its primary runtime with a Flash fallback for legacy browsers like IE6+. It supports chunked concurrent uploads of large files, image preview and compression, drag-and-drop, paste-to-upload, and MD5-based instant upload.

## Use cases
- upload large files in chunks with concurrent requests
- support file uploads in legacy IE browsers
- add drag-and-drop and paste image upload to a web app
- compress and preview images before uploading
- skip re-uploading files with MD5 instant upload

## When to choose
- you need broad legacy browser compatibility including IE6+
- you upload very large files and want chunked, resumable transfers
- you want a self-contained uploader with image preview/compression built in

## When to avoid
- you only target modern browsers and prefer actively maintained alternatives like Uppy or FilePond
- your stack relies on Flash-free environments (Flash is deprecated)
- you need long-term support or timely bug fixes, since the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-upload, image-processing
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: file-uploader, html5, flash-fallback, chunked-upload, javascript
