UploadFlowJoin the launch list

Product guide

From a webpage
to a ready upload.

Follow the complete local-first workflow, understand the settings you can control, and see where Chrome or the source website sets a capability boundary.

Configure UploadFlow

Choose how UploadFlow fits your workflow.

Settings define when UploadFlow appears, where files come from, and which reusable defaults are available. They do not publish, submit, or permanently alter source media by themselves.

/01Configuration

Upload interception

The main UploadFlow switch controls whether websites can be intercepted and whether UploadFlow can return reviewed files to their upload fields.

  • Enable it when you want UploadFlow to handle file inputs, drops, paste actions, and supported page upload APIs.
  • Disable it to leave normal website upload behaviour untouched.
  • Disabling it also clears connected pending-draft tracking.
/02Configuration

File input picker

Choose what opens when a website requests a file.

  • UploadFlow URL picker: choose captured URLs, shelf items, or post-bundle media.
  • Computer picker: use Chrome’s normal local-file dialog.
  • This changes the starting source, not the destination website’s file requirements.
/03Configuration

Post Bundles

Combine ordered media with reusable post information so a complete content package can move together instead of rebuilding it on every website.

  • Capture a supported webpage post or create a bundle from selected Media Shelf items.
  • Review the media order, title, caption, attribution, links, hashtags, cover role, and per-media alt text.
  • Insert the ordered media into a compatible multi-file input, then map supported text fields through a Site preset.
  • Unsupported text fields remain available for manual copy instead of being silently discarded.
/04Configuration

Live Draft Sync — Experimental

Opt in to track files that UploadFlow placed into supported, connected upload fields before those files start uploading.

  • Replacement requires explicit confirmation and never submits or publishes a form.
  • Compatibility varies because websites may keep attachment state outside the native file input.
  • Unsupported destinations show that a newer version is available and ask you to replace the attachment manually.
  • Keep this disabled for the stable launch workflow.
/05Configuration

UploadFlow Handoff — Early Access

Short-lived encrypted pairing groundwork is available; live phone-to-browser file transfer is still being completed.

  • Pairing sessions are temporary and can be cancelled explicitly.
  • Do not expect live encrypted file delivery in the current build.
  • Handoff remains separate from the local-only core and will require its own reviewed privacy boundary.
/06Configuration

Language

Choose whether UploadFlow follows the browser language or uses a supported language explicitly.

  • System follows Chrome’s current locale.
  • A selected language remains active until you change it again.
/07Configuration

Inspect Mode

Inspect Mode adds an UploadFlow action to media you deliberately hover on supported webpages.

  • Turn it on when capturing authorized images, video, audio, or source URLs from webpages.
  • Turn it off when you do not want hover controls on ordinary browsing pages.
  • Inspect Mode only operates while UploadFlow itself is enabled.
/08Configuration

Image defaults

Set the format and quality UploadFlow should initially suggest when an image enters the optimization workflow.

  • Auto optimize can prepare supported images without requiring the same initial choices each time.
  • Default format and quality are starting values; you can still review the result before continuing.
/09Configuration

Text privacy defaults

Choose which recognizable text patterns should be masked when text redaction is used.

  • Email, phone, payment-card, and IPv4 detection can be enabled independently.
  • These options configure text redaction; image-region redaction remains a separate reviewed action.
/10Configuration

Watermark defaults

Save the watermark text and visual defaults you normally want UploadFlow to begin with.

  • Configure text, position, font, size, colour, alignment, and baseline once.
  • The watermark workspace still shows a preview before the output is applied.
/11Configuration

Upscaling

Control whether network-backed upscaling is available and which enlargement factor is selected initially.

  • Keep it disabled if every preparation action must remain local.
  • Enable it only when you intend to send an image to the configured processing service.
  • 2x and supported 4x options determine the initial resolution request.
/12Configuration

Site presets

Describe how UploadFlow should prepare media and insert Post Bundle fields for specific destination websites or hostname patterns.

  • Match exact hosts or wildcard host patterns.
  • Set file limits, filename templates, transforms, output format, quality, size, and optional branding.
  • Choose which preset is enabled when several saved rules exist.
  • Optional title, body, link, and hashtag selectors map only an explicitly inserted Post Bundle.
  • A Site preset prepares and fills a draft; it never submits or publishes the destination form.
/13Configuration

Brand kits

Store reusable visual identity choices for repeated creator or campaign work.

  • Save names, usernames, websites, fonts, colours, logo placement, and watermark variants.
  • A destination preset or platform pack can reference a saved kit instead of rebuilding the same branding.
/14Configuration

Platform packs

Define a named set of output variants that should be generated together.

  • Choose each variant’s dimensions, format, quality, watermark behaviour, and optional destination preset.
  • Use packs for repeatable square, portrait, landscape, preview, thumbnail, or high-quality deliverables.
/15Configuration

Private Media Memory

Choose whether UploadFlow remembers explicit captures, transformations, versions, and deliveries as local workflow metadata.

  • It is optional and does not record general browsing activity.
  • Choose a 7, 30, or 90-day retention period.
  • Export the local record, remove one destination’s history, or erase everything.

01 · Capture

Ready in build

Collect an authorized source

Enable Inspect Mode for hover controls, use the UploadFlow context menu, or paste a direct media URL. UploadFlow stores a bounded source reference rather than silently downloading every file.

  • Images, video, audio, and media links
  • Optional hover inspection and right-click capture
  • Signed and protected URLs remain subject to source access rules

02 · Organize

In beta

Keep media available across tabs

The persistent side panel uses the same local shelf as the picker and editor. Search, tag, favourite, collect, select, and track work while moving from source to destination websites.

  • Bounded local shelf of source references
  • Collections, tags, favourites, and multi-select
  • Queue progress, retry, cancellation, and completed-item removal

03 · Prepare

In beta

Choose the depth the task needs

Use quick actions in the popup, manage several items in the side panel, or open the full workspace. Settings control interception, pickers, editor defaults, presets, brand kits, packs, and optional history.

  • Optimize and convert images
  • Crop, redact, watermark, upscale, or prepare supported video
  • Destination presets, filename templates, and reusable brand kits

10 · Video

Planned

Trim and prepare video locally

The video workspace is being moved to a packaged FFmpeg Wasm pipeline for deterministic trimming, crop, resize, speed, audio, cover-frame, and broadly playable MP4 output.

  • Locally bundled worker and Wasm assets

11 · Handoff

Ready in build

Return the approved File

When a destination asks for a file, UploadFlow retrieves the selected source on demand, opens review, and returns the approved File to the original input, drop, paste, or supported page API flow.

  • Continue returns the prepared File
  • Cancel discards the temporary result
  • Explicit Download hands progress and saving to Chrome

12 · Download

Ready in build

Let Chrome own long-running saves

Explicit downloads continue through Chrome after the UploadFlow window closes. The activity view keeps their progress and completed state visible.

  • Browser-managed progress

13 · Repeat

In beta

Optionally remember the workflow

Private history is disabled by default. When enabled, it stores bounded workflow metadata—not file bytes—with 7, 30, or 90-day retention and clear-all or per-destination deletion.

  • Local perceptual duplicate warnings
  • Repeat a previous editor workflow
  • No persisted fingerprints, scan findings, video frames, or temporary output bytes
