Let people upload files with your forms in WordPress. The File Upload field allows users to choose one or more files from their device and upload them when the form is submitted.

Uploaded files can be saved to submissions, attached to emails, or mapped to integrations where supported. You can also choose different file handlers for each file field, including private, public, and Media Library destinations.

WS Form supports both a default file upload type and a DropzoneJS type. DropzoneJS uploads images immediately, can reduce form submission time, and performs image resizing, format, and quality changes in the browser.

  • Choose upload behavior

    Use the default type to upload on form submission, or choose DropzoneJS for immediate image uploads.

  • Allow multiple files

    Enable the Multiple setting so visitors can choose more than one file.

  • Save files your way

    Set a different file handler for each file field on your form.

  • Private or public storage

    Save uploads in a protected private format, a public format, or the WordPress Media Library.

  • Custom saved filenames

    Build saved file names with masks, including file variables and WS Form variables.

  • Directory uploads

    With the regular type, visitors can choose an entire directory including subdirectories.

  • Mobile capture options

    Control whether mobile devices select a file or capture one with the default, front, or rear camera.

  • Image optimization controls

    Configure max width, max height, crop, quality, and file format for image uploads.
