Image Uploader is a client-side Java applet which allows you to browse images on the client computer, make basic image processing (generate thumbnails, rotate), edit description of images, and then upload them images to server. It drammatically increased convinience for images uploading to server as against of standart HTML forms (using <input type= "file" .... >). It can upload not only the image but ready thumbnails for it, thus you need not a component which generates thumbnails on server.

It retrieves data to server in standard multipart/form-data. This means that the data can be handled by any HTTP-compatible server environment: ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, PHP, JSP, etc. The code samples for ASP, ASP.NET, ColdFusion, Perl, PHP, and JSP are available.

Features

• Easy navigation through the folders on your computer. Displays thumbnails for the pictures (JPEG, TIFF, PSD, WBMP, BMP, and GIF). You can also switch between different views: thumbnails, details, list, and icons.
• Ability to specify limitation for total upload size, dimensions, uploaded files count, and single file size.

• Automatic recovery of upload if connection is broken.
• Generating up to three thumbnails or different sizes (on client-side).

  • ASP (for several upload components);
  • ASP.NET;
  • PHP;
