WordPress File Upload Plugin
Frontend file uploads
Collect files directly on your WordPress website.
Let visitors submit photos, videos, audio and supported documents with the information you need. Place an upload form on a page or offer uploads inside a gallery.
Use configurable fields, file restrictions and entry activation to organize submissions. Connect uploads with a gallery, a competition or a member community.
Contest Gallery accepts the supported file formats below through a frontend upload form. Choose the types and limits appropriate for your website. PDF uploads with generated previews require PRO.

Upload form behavior
The Contest Gallery plugin offers you two types of upload forms: On page upload form and In gallery upload form. The “On page upload form” is a pure upload form without a gallery, while the “In gallery upload form” lets you upload directly in gallery.
This live demo publishes accepted uploads automatically. On your own website, choose automatic activation or review entries first.

Check out below some exciting benefits that different types of users can enjoy from the feature of this plugin.
Photographers, Videographers, and Artists
If you are a professional photographer, videographer, or artist and want to show your works in an organized way, this feature can help you a lot. You may display different types of files together in the same gallery or through separate galleries and pages.
Marketers and Business Owners
If you have multiple brands and a variety of product lines, using tags and headings, you can arrange and display them in different categories. Adding downloadable manuals (Doc or PDF) to each gallery will provide customers with more information to grow a better understanding of your products.
Educators and Trainers
PDFs, PPTs, and video tutorials are some common materials highly used in online education platforms. If you are an educator or trainer, you can share course materials with your students through these files.
You can also create separate galleries for videos to showcase a series of tutorial videos on specific topics. Besides, by categorizing files based on topics, you can make it easier for students to navigate the materials they seek.
