File field

A File field lets visitors attach files, such as a CV or a photo.

  [[your_file]]

Settings

Setting	What it does
Allowed types	Picked from a list of images, audio, video, PDF and plain text: files that can’t carry code or macros. Type to search, such as pdf or video. By default: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp, pdf, txt. Other types, such as Word files, ZIP archives, web pages or SVG, are never accepted.
Max size (MB)	The largest file allowed, 2 by default. Your server may set a lower limit, and that one wins.
Several files	Visitors can pick more than one file at once.
Required	Visitors must attach a file to send the form.

Get the files by mail

Put [your_file] in the mail’s Attachments. The files go with the mail and are then deleted from the server. In the body of the mail, [your_file] prints the file names.

The entry keeps the names, not the files.

Messages

Message	Default text
Upload failed	The file couldn’t be uploaded. Please try again.
File type not allowed	This type of file isn’t allowed.
File too large	This file is too large.

Change it for one form in its Messages tab, or for every form in Settings → Messages.
