New Plugin: Paste Files into Inputs – Make File Uploads as Easy as Ctrl+V
Hey Bubble community!
I’m excited to share a new plugin built for a smoother and more flexible file upload experience:
Paste Files into Inputs — a fully customizable solution that lets users paste files directly into your app, while giving you full control over upload handling and design.
Whether you’re building a chat interface, feedback form, or collaborative workspace, this plugin empowers you with a developer-friendly approach to handling pasted files — no design restrictions, no rigid UI.

Core Features
• Paste Any File Type
Images, videos, docs, PDFs, zips — if it’s in the clipboard, the plugin can handle it.
• Restrict File Types
Accept only the MIME types you want for safe and clean uploads.
• File Limit Controls
– Limit how many files can be pasted at once
– Limit the total number of files allowed
• Asynchronous Uploading
Files upload in parallel — no queueing or waiting for one to finish.
• Flexible Upload Flow
– Automatic Upload: Upload immediately and get file URLs
– Manual Upload: Get a Blob URL (Preview Link) first — great for reviewing or processing files before sending them
• Built-in Actions
– Upload file (from paste or file system)
– Retry upload
– Delete individual file
– Delete all files
• Rich File Info
– File name & size
– Upload progress
– Upload success/failure status
• Responsive Events
– On file upload success
– On upload failure
– When max file limit is exceeded

– …and more

Total Design Freedom
No prebuilt UI or forced styling — use your own Bubble elements to fully control how files are displayed or managed.
