Let your visitors send you files — a job application, a photo for a contest, a signed PDF — straight from any page, post or sidebar of your WordPress site.

Iptanus File Upload is a dedicated upload plugin, not a form builder with an upload field bolted on. Build the form by looking at it, with no shortcode syntax to learn. Add your own fields, so a file never arrives without you knowing who sent it or what it is for. Let people capture a photo straight from their camera instead of hunting for one on their phone.

The free version is not a trial. No time limit, no artificial file size cap, no nag screens. It includes the Material UI theme, the visual editor, additional form fields and webcam capture.

A Pro version adds cloud storage destinations, uploads of unlimited size, bulk and folder uploads, and file management from the dashboard. Most people run the free version for months before they need any of it.
