Angular File Upload or Material File Upload is a component for uploading one or multiple files, images, documents, audio, video, and other files to a server. It is an improved version of the HTML5 upload component (<input type="file">) with a rich set of features that include multiple file selection, progress bars, auto-uploading, drag and drop, folder (directory) uploading, file validation, and more.
The Angular File Upload component seamlessly uploads files in the asynchronous mode using the AJAX library.
Manage large file uploads efficiently using chunk upload. Large files are sliced into smaller chunks and uploaded to the server in sequential order in the asynchronous mode.
A built-in feature is available to pause, resume, retry, and cancel a file upload. This helps users upload high-resolution images, videos,and other large files safely. Additionally, it provides an option to pause and resume automatically based on server connection.
Select multiple files and upload them to a server at the same time. This is useful for uploading images to a gallery and for file sharing applications.
Upload multiple files by simply dragging them from the file explorer to the drop area (drop zone), which is a more user-friendly way to select and upload multiple files.
The Angular File Upload component allows you to upload images and resize images, show an image preview or thumbnail, etc. before uploading them.
The action buttons of the Angular File Upload component are completely customizable, including its file list, which helps create your own design for the file upload UI.
Upload various file types and limit the file types from client-side, which is mandatory before uploading a file to the web application.
Add validation to check file size limits with minimum and maximum ranges, number of files required, total size, and MIME type before uploading a file to a server.
The Angular File Upload component accepts a folder (directory) as a file source for uploading all the files (including subfolders) of the selected folder.
The Angular File Upload component processes images from the clipboard, also. Simply copy and paste the images to be uploaded to a server.
The Angular File Upload component provides a simple interface to delete the wrongly uploaded files from a server.
Users can configure previously uploaded files from the server. This is useful to view and remove files from the server.
Initiate an automatic upload to upload files immediately upon adding them to the upload queue.
The Angular File Upload component displays a built-in progress bar (progress indicator) with the progress percentage during each file upload. The Uploader Progressbar is completely customizable.
Templates are used to customize the default appearance of the uploader. The Angular File Upload component supports File List template and Custom template.
Users can set corresponding translation texts to the static strings used in the Angular file upload component through the localization library.
The Angular File Upload component supports right-to-left rendering, which improves the user experience and accessibility for those who use RTL languages.
The Angular File Upload component allows you to pass additional parameters along with an upload request as an HTTP header or custom parameters.
The file uploader seamlessly works with Angular standard template-driven forms, reactive forms, and native HTML forms.
The Angular File Upload component provides the best user experience across phone, tablet, and desktop form factors.
The Angular File Uploader component has several built-in themes such as Material, Bootstrap, Fabric (Office 365), Fluent, Tailwind CSS, and High Contrast. Users can customize any one of these built-in themes or create new themes to achieve their own desired look and feel either by simply overriding SASS variables or using our Theme Studio application.
Developers can control the appearance and behaviors of the Angular File Upload, including its file list, using a rich set of APIs.
With continuous improvement in Angular versions, the Angular File Upload is kept up to date to make it compatible with the latest version.
File Upload is also available in Blazor, React, Vue, and JavaScript frameworks. Check out the different File Upload platforms from the links below,
Easily get started with the Angular File Upload using a few simple lines of HTML and TS code example as demonstrated below. Also explore our Angular File Upload Example that shows you how to upload files in Angular.
