Image Uploader for Java is a Java applet which can be embedded into a page on you site and provide your visitors the ability to upload multiple files easily. They can navigate to their computer's folders, select files, and send them to your server with one click.

For image files, users can browse previews, and even rotate them. Also, depending on the settings, Image Uploader can generate resized versions of the image, e.g. small thumbnails, 640x480 web-friendly previews, etc.

During the upload, the progress bar is displayed. The users can exactly see how much time to wait until the upload completes. If the upload is interrupted, it can be resumed.

An applet can be installed at all platforms and browsers compatible with Java runtime v1.4. This way you can use it on Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc. on a big variety of browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, etc.

Image Uploader is customizable. You can change the appearance by modifying colors, etc. In addition you can hide or show elements of the user interface elements according to your needs. If you are building an application for non-English speakers, you can easily localize Image Uploader to the any language you want. This exciting feature can help you to expand your user base. The translation to some languages is even already included in Image Uploader documentation.

You can extend Image Uploader features using additional HTML and JavaScript. In particular, you can upload additional data along with files (album name, author, user ID, etc). Another example of JavaScript usage would be displaying the user account quota (e.g. limitation for the file number or the account space), shopping cart for print orders, etc.
