jQuery File Upload is a plugin for the popular JavaScript framework that helps handling file uploads.

The plugin is based on open standards like HTML5-JavaScript and No Flash. For legacy browsers it falls back to an Ajaxed-like iframe-PHP solution.

Multiple files can be selected, they can even be drag ‘n’ dropped from the desktop and the upload process can start automatically or with an event (like clicking the “upload” button).

A progress bar can display the status and uploads can be canceled anytime.

It is possible to use multiple instances of the plugin in the same page and jQuery File Upload is compatible with any server-side application platform.
