UploadThing
An easier way to upload files for developers.

UploadThing is a file upload service built for full-stack TypeScript developers. It handles bandwidth and storage on its own servers while allowing authentication to remain on the developer's server, striking a balance between security and simplicity. It offers first-party adapters for popular frameworks like Next.js, Astro, SvelteKit, and SolidStart, along with a dashboard to manage uploaded files.
Developers integrate UploadThing via framework-specific adapters; authentication runs on the developer's server while file uploads are handled by UploadThing's infrastructure.
