Limit File Types File Uploader

Published August 2024
   •    Updated this week

Plugin details

✅ Restrict File Types During Upload
💡 Built exclusively for Bubble's Native Single File Uploader, Picture Uploader, and Dropzone Multi-file Uploader. Bubble's native file, multi-file and picture uploader currently lacks the capability for developers to define specific accepted file types or image formats.

✅ This enhancement significantly improves the user experience by ensuring users are prompted to upload only files with the specified extensions.

✅ Development time is reduced as there is no need for additional workflows to verify file extension types after the upload.

Plugin is Great, but doesn't work on reusables
December 20th, 2025
I have a reusable that contains a image uploader, wich I use everywhere. I was trying to set the accepted file types with conditionals using reusable parameters through elements, but this doesn't seem to work.
Works Great

I need the plugin to work on multiple file uploader but its not working. Loom video: https://www.loom.com/share/d4952284fc254a36ac896d84bb498725?sid=10fb7cbb-aaee-4da4-bb30-18c66d89d9dd
Thank you for sharing this feedback and video! This was intended as a single file uploader so you are correct, it won't function for multiple files. However, given this feedback we will look into improving it's use case to include multiple files and update you when this launches. (plugin author)

Doesn't working
August 26th, 2024
I am putting everything correct according to mentioned steps for pdf only. The uploader still is accepting all the file types. Can you guys help me? I have tried ".pdf" and "pdf" only as well
Hey their I appreciate your feedback! Because of it we added this setup loom video to the plugins description to help with setup going forward. https://www.loom.com/share/31fc95d5ef4547ba92a3bda17c0bd0f6?sid=82661aac-6f7e-43b9-92ca-b7a36b1b393f After review of your comment I believe the issue may be that you are using the quotations around pdf when it should be just .pdf I hope this helps and let us know if you need anything additional. We can also be added to the editor to help troubleshoot if this still doesn't solve it. (plugin author)
