Plugin details

Upgrade your Bubble app with the most robust file uploader on the market.
Dropzone Ultimate Pro is designed for production-grade applications that require a seamless, "Stripe-like" file upload experience. It handles everything from simple profile pictures to complex multi-file document queues with ease.

🔥 Pro Exclusive Features:

🚀 Multi-File Uploads: Allow users to drag & drop dozens of files at once. The plugin handles the queue efficiently, preventing server timeouts.

⚡ Client-Side Image Resizing: Drastically reduce AWS S3 storage costs and speed up your app. The plugin compresses large images (e.g., 4K photos) directly in the browser *before* upload. (Smartly ignores PDFs/Docs).

🎨 Full Customization: Match your brand identity. Customize border colors, progress bars, and hover states. You can even upload your own **Custom Icon** to replace the default cloud.

🔄 Initial Content (Edit Mode): Load existing files from your database into the uploader. Users can see current files, add new ones, or delete old ones—all in one place.

🖱️ Interactive Previews: Detect clicks on file cards to show side-previews (great for galleries or document review apps).

🛡️ Smart Validation: Prevents "burst drops" that exceed limits and handles HEIC/Apple formats by uploading the original file automatically.


📋 Paste from Clipboard: Support for direct image pasting. Perfect for Chat apps, Bug Reporting, and Support Tickets.
Automatically names screenshots with timestamps.

🏎️ Convert to WebP: Reduce file sizes by 30-50% automatically by converting PNGs/JPGs to WebP before uploading. Save on storage and speed up your app!

🛡️ Quality Control (Min Dimensions): Prevent pixelated or tiny images. Set a Min Width and Min Height (e.g., 800x600) and the uploader will reject smaller files with a helpful error message.

⚡ Client-Side Resizing: Resize images before they leave the user's browser. Faster uploads, less bandwidth usage.

🖱️ Drag & Drop Reordering: Users can now click, drag, and drop uploaded file cards to visually reorder them! The plugin automatically updates the Bubble URL list states to reflect the new order in real-time (an absolute game-changer for E-commerce product galleries and portfolio builders).

📄 Smart Previews for Documents: No more boring generic icons for non-image files! The engine now automatically detects extensions and generates crisp, colorful, built-in SVG icons for PDFs, DOCX, Spreadsheets, MP4s, and ZIP files.

🛑 Mid-Upload Cancellation: Uploading a large file by mistake? Users can now click "Cancel" during the upload progress bar. The plugin will instantly abort the process, clear the queue, and prevent browser freezing, swapping to a clean "✕" remove button once completed.

🌙 Auto Dark Mode Sync: Seamlessly integrate the dropzone into your Dark Mode apps. Pass a single dynamic "yes/no" value, and the plugin will instantly inject your custom dark background and border colors, swapping text colors for perfect contrast without needing complex Bubble conditionals!


✨ New Web Features:

✂️ In-Browser Cropping: Let users perfectly crop their images (e.g., 1:1 for profile pictures) in a sleek, dark-mode modal before the upload starts.

©️ Auto-Watermarking: Protect your content automatically. The plugin stamps a custom transparent logo onto images locally before they hit the server.

🕵️‍♂️ EXIF Data Extraction: Extract Camera Models, GPS Coordinates, and Dates directly from original photos. Privacy First: The HTML5 Canvas completely wipes the EXIF data from the final uploaded image to protect your users' privacy!

🎬 Smart Video Thumbnails: Uploading an MP4? The plugin silently renders a background canvas to snap a frame from the 1st second and uses it as the thumbnail.

📱 Introducing Dropzone Native Mobile (Beta):
We’ve added a brand-new element exclusively built for React Native / BDK wrappers! It includes flexible layouts, perfect drag-and-drop zones, Dark/Light mode sync, and full control over max file limits—all running flawlessly on mobile engines.

   - (Optional) Upload a Custom Icon image if you don't want the default cloud.

   - Action: Data > Make changes to thing.
   - Field: `My Images List` set list `Dropzone Pro A's Uploaded URLs`.
   - Note: The 'Uploaded URLs' state always contains the full, updated list of files.

   - Workflow: Elements > Dropzone Pro File Removed.
   - Action: Make changes to thing (e.g., Current User).

   - The plugin handles duplicates automatically.


⚙️ HOW TO USE V2.0 FEATURES:

1. 📋 Using "Paste to Upload":

No Setup Required: It works out of the box!

How to test: Take a screenshot (Windows: Win+Shift+S / Mac: Cmd+Ctrl+Shift+4), click anywhere on your Bubble page, and press Ctrl+V. The image will appear in the Dropzone.

Note: The Dropzone element must be visible on the page for this to work.

2. 🏎️ Converting to WebP:

Set the field Convert to WebP to Yes.

All uploaded images (PNG, JPEG) will be converted to .webp format on the fly. This drastically reduces file size while maintaining high quality.

3. 🛡️ Enforcing Minimum Size:

Use the fields Min Width (px) and Min Height (px) to set your rules.

If a user tries to upload a 200x200 icon into a 1000x1000 cover photo slot, the plugin will reject it and trigger the Upload Error event.


For the Web Element:

Place the Dropzone element on your page.

To enable Cropping, set Enable Cropping to "yes". Optionally, enforce an aspect ratio (e.g., 1 for square, 1.77 for 16:9). A modal will automatically appear when a user drops an image.

To enable Watermarks, set Enable Watermark to "yes", provide a valid image URL, and select the opacity and position (e.g., Bottom Right).

To extract EXIF Data, set Extract EXIF to "yes". Use the exposed states (exif_latitude, exif_camera_model, etc.) to save this data into your Bubble database.

Use the A Dropzone - File Added event to trigger workflows.

For the Mobile Element (Beta):

Place the Dropzone Mobile (Beta) element inside your responsive mobile layout. Ensure the Bubble container has "Fit height to content" enabled so the plugin can dynamically resize itself.

Configure your Theme: Set Is Dark Mode dynamically based on your app's state, and customize the Dark BG Color and Dark Border Color.

Set your limits: Define Max Files (e.g., 5) and Max File Size (MB).

The plugin will natively handle the layout shifts and trigger the exact same events as the web version!
