Image Uploader is the solution intended to make mass file upload easier. It is simply embedded into HTML code of your web page and does not require end-user to download and install it manually. A modern appearance and intuitive user interface make Image Uploader attractive for end-users as well as clear for computer novices. Here is a common workflow to upload files with Image Uploader:

1. Users visit a page where Image Uploader resides and select as many files as they want.
2. When all the files are added, they click Upload.
3. Image Uploader prepares a HTTP POST request with user-selected files and additional data and sends it to the server page specified in its settings. This page receives and processes the request and performs any other upload-related actions.
4. Progress bar with remaining upload time estimation is shown during the upload process; so, users always know how long to wait, and they can always stop the upload if it takes too long.

Additionally, Image Uploader is able to apply automatic client-side data optimization before sending it. For example, it can resize images and compress files to ZIP archives. This way the add-on reduces traffic, uploading time, and server disk amount used to store your data.
