Introduction

Dropzone.js is a drag and drop file upload with image previews. The author of dropzone has made the implementation as easy as possible. We just have to declare a dropzone class in form HTML element and Dropzone will find all form elements with class dropzone and automiatically attach itself to it.

Drag and drop is a new feature for latest browser only such as IE10+, Chrome 7+, Firefox 4+, Opera 12+ and Safari 5+, for old browsers, Dropzone provides an oldschool file input fallback.

Features

  • Easy to style and update default dropzone template
  • Create a dropzone with CSS class, or programmatically using Javascript
  • Generate image thumbnails.
  • Parallel file uploads
  • With callback event for file validation and file upload status.
  • Dropzone is also available as an AMD module for RequireJS.
