# File Attachments

{% hint style="info" %}
Heads Up! This is a PRO feature. You must have an active subscription to use this feature.
{% endhint %}

```markup
<input type="file" name="attachment" />
```

You will need to add `enctype="multipart/form-data"` to the Form Element to make the attachment work.

```markup
<form action="https://api.web3forms.com/submit" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
  ...
  <input type="file" name="attachment" />
  ...  
</form>
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using Javascript / Ajax to submit the form, make sure you set the Headers accordingly. Setting wrong headers will throw an error.
{% endhint %}

### Multiple File Attachments

We support multiple file attachments on the contact form. We process them together and send them to you.

```html
<form action="https://api.web3forms.com/submit" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
  ...
  <label> Your Resume </label>
  <input type="file" name="resume" />
  
  <label> Your Photo </label>
  <input type="file" name="photo" />
  ...  
</form>
```

### Advanced File Uploader

Our Default HTML5 File uploader works only for single files up to 5 MB only. To upload multiple files or larger attachments, we recommend using our Advanced File Uploader. [Please see the guide here](#undefined)

## File upload with Javascript

#### Here's an example code with Javascript

```html
<form id="myForm" method="POST">
  ...
  <input type="file" id="attachment" name="attachment" />
  ...  
  <button type="submit">Submit Form</button>
</form>
```

```javascript
const form = document.getElementById("myForm");

form.addEventListener("submit", function (e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  
  const formData = new FormData(form);
  
  formData.append("access_key", "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE");
  formData.append("subject", "New Submission from Web3Forms");

  const file = document.getElementById("attachment");
  const filesize = file.files[0].size / 1024;

  if (filesize > 1000) {
    alert("Please upload file less than 1 MB");
    return;
  }
  
  // Don't add `headers` or `content-type` in this fetch call
  // Since it contains attachments, the browser auto-adds them. 
  fetch("https://api.web3forms.com/submit", {
    method: "POST",
    body: formData
  })
    .then(async (response) => {
      let json = await response.json();
      if (response.status == 200) {
        console.log(json.message);
      } else {
        console.log(response);
      }
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    })
    .then(function () {
      form.reset();
    });
});

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.web3forms.com/getting-started/pro-features/file-attachments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
