# [Uppy](https://uppy.io) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/uppy)
Uppy is a sleek, modular JavaScript file uploader that integrates seamlessly
with any application. It’s fast, has a comprehensible API and lets you worry
about more important problems than building a file uploader.
- **Fetch** files from local disk, remote URLs, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box,
Instagram or snap and record selfies with a camera
- **Preview** and edit metadata with a nice interface
- **Upload** to the final destination, optionally process/encode

and its plugins.
## Features
- Lightweight, modular plugin-based architecture, light on dependencies :zap:
- Resumable file uploads via the open [tus](https://tus.io/) standard, so large
uploads survive network hiccups
- Supports picking files from: Webcam, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Instagram,
bypassing the user’s device where possible, syncing between servers directly
via [@uppy/companion](https://uppy.io/docs/companion)
- Works great with file encoding and processing backends, such as
[Transloadit](https://transloadit.com), works great without (all you need is
to roll your own Apache/Nginx/Node/FFmpeg/etc backend)
- Sleek user interface :sparkles:
- Optional file recovery (after a browser crash) with
[Golden Retriever](https://uppy.io/docs/golden-retriever/)
- Speaks several languages (i18n) :earth_africa:
- Built with accessibility in mind
- Free for the world, forever (as in beer 🍺, pizza 🍕, and liberty 🗽)
- Cute as a puppy, also accepts cat pictures :dog:
## Installation
```bash
npm install @uppy/core @uppy/dashboard @uppy/tus
```
Add CSS
[uppy.min.css](https://releases.transloadit.com/uppy/v4.0.0-beta.4/uppy.min.css),
either to your HTML page’s `` or include in JS, if your bundler of choice
supports it.
Alternatively, you can also use a pre-built bundle from Transloadit’s CDN:
Edgly. In that case `Uppy` will attach itself to the global `window.Uppy`
object.
> ⚠️ The bundle consists of most Uppy plugins, so this method is not recommended
> for production, as your users will have to download all plugins when you are
> likely using only a few.

## Plugins
[List of plugins and their common options](https://uppy.io/docs/plugins/)
### UI Elements
- [`Dashboard`](https://uppy.io/docs/dashboard/) — universal UI with previews,
progress bars, metadata editor and all the cool stuff. Required for most UI
plugins like Webcam and Instagram
- [`Progress Bar`](https://uppy.io/docs/progress-bar/) — minimal progress bar
that fills itself when upload progresses
- [`Status Bar`](https://uppy.io/docs/status-bar/) — more detailed progress,
pause/resume/cancel buttons, percentage, speed, uploaded/total sizes (included
by default with `Dashboard`)
- [`Informer`](https://uppy.io/docs/informer/) — send notifications like “smile”
before taking a selfie or “upload failed” when all is lost (also included by
default with `Dashboard`)
### Sources
- [`Drag & Drop`](https://uppy.io/docs/drag-drop/) — plain drag and drop area
- [`File Input`](https://uppy.io/docs/file-input/) — even plainer “select files”
button
- [`Webcam`](https://uppy.io/docs/webcam/) — snap and record those selfies 📷
- ⓒ [`Google Drive`](https://uppy.io/docs/google-drive/) — import files from
Google Drive
- ⓒ [`Dropbox`](https://uppy.io/docs/dropbox/) — import files from Dropbox
- ⓒ [`Box`](https://uppy.io/docs/box/) — import files from Box

The ⓒ mark means that [`@uppy/companion`](https://uppy.io/docs/companion), a
server-side component, is needed for a plugin to work.

[tus](http://tus.io) standard
- [`XHR Upload`](https://uppy.io/docs/xhr-upload/) — regular uploads for any
