We have written tutorials on using two popular libraries so that you can pick anyone based on your requirements.

  1. Uppy - A sleek, modular JavaScript file uploader that integrates seamlessly with any application. It allows users to pick files from local devices, webcam or Drive, Facebook, Instagram, and Dropbox. Read this tutorial to implement Uppy with ImageKit.io.

  2. Dropzone.js - An open-source JS library that provides drag and drop file uploads with image previews. It’s lightweight, doesn’t depend on any other library (like jQuery), and is highly customizable. Read this tutorial to implement Dropzone with ImageKit.io. Please note that this tutorial is using the old API, but you can still follow the steps to use the new API endpoints.
