UploadButton

gradio.UploadButton(···)

Description

Used to create an upload button, when cicked allows a user to upload files that satisfy the specified file type or generic files (if file_type not set).

Behavior

As input: passes the uploaded file as a file-object or List[file-object] depending on `file_count` (or a bytes/Listbytes depending on `type`)

As output: expects function to return a str path to a file, or List[str] consisting of paths to files.

Initialization

Parameter	Description
`label` str default: "Upload a File"	Text to display on the button. Defaults to "Upload a File".
`value` str \| list[str] \| Callable \| None default: None	File or list of files to upload by default.
`variant` Literal['primary', 'secondary', 'stop'] default: "secondary"	'primary' for main call-to-action, 'secondary' for a more subdued style, 'stop' for a stop button.
`visible` bool default: True	If False, component will be hidden.
`size` Literal['sm', 'lg'] \| None default: None	Size of the button. Can be "sm" or "lg".
`scale` int \| None default: None	relative width compared to adjacent Components in a Row. For example, if Component A has scale=2, and Component B has scale=1, A will be twice as wide as B. Should be an integer.
`min_width` int \| None default: None	minimum pixel width, will wrap if not sufficient screen space to satisfy this value. If a certain scale value results in this Component being narrower than min_width, the min_width parameter will be respected first.
`interactive` bool default: True	If False, the UploadButton will be in a disabled state.
`elem_id` str \| None default: None	An optional string that is assigned as the id of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles.
`elem_classes` list[str] \| str \| None default: None	An optional list of strings that are assigned as the classes of this component in the HTML DOM. Can be used for targeting CSS styles.
`type` Literal['file', 'bytes'] default: "file"	Type of value to be returned by component. "file" returns a temporary file object with the same base name as the uploaded file, whose full path can be retrieved by file_obj.name, "binary" returns an bytes object.
`file_count` Literal['single', 'multiple', 'directory'] default: "single"	if single, allows user to upload one file. If "multiple", user uploads multiple files. If "directory", user uploads all files in selected directory. Return type will be list for each file in case of "multiple" or "directory".
`file_types` list[str] \| None default: None	List of type of files to be uploaded. "file" allows any file to be uploaded, "image" allows only image files to be uploaded, "audio" allows only audio files to be uploaded, "video" allows only video files to be uploaded, "text" allows only text files to be uploaded.

Demos

import gradio as gr

def upload_file(files):
    file_paths = [file.name for file in files]
    return file_paths

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    file_output = gr.File()
    upload_button = gr.UploadButton("Click to Upload a File", file_types=["image", "video"], file_count="multiple")
    upload_button.upload(upload_file, upload_button, file_output)

demo.launch()

Methods

click

gradio.UploadButton.click(fn, ···)

Description

This listener is triggered when the component (e.g. a button) is clicked. This method can be used when this component is in a Gradio Blocks.

Agruments

Parameter	Description
`fn` Callable \| None required	the function to wrap an interface around. Often a machine learning model's prediction function. Each parameter of the function corresponds to one input component, and the function should return a single value or a tuple of values, with each element in the tuple corresponding to one output component.
`inputs` Component \| Sequence[Component] \| set[Component] \| None default: None	List of gradio.components to use as inputs. If the function takes no inputs, this should be an empty list.
`outputs` Component \| Sequence[Component] \| None default: None	List of gradio.components to use as outputs. If the function returns no outputs, this should be an empty list.
`api_name` str \| None \| Literal[False] default: None	Defines how the endpoint appears in the API docs. Can be a string, None, or False. If False, the endpoint will not be exposed in the api docs. If set to None, the endpoint will be exposed in the api docs as an unnamed endpoint, although this behavior will be changed in Gradio 4.0. If set to a string, the endpoint will be exposed in the api docs with the given name.
`status_tracker` None default: None
`scroll_to_output` bool default: False	If True, will scroll to output component on completion
`show_progress` Literal['full', 'minimal', 'hidden'] default: "full"	If True, will show progress animation while pending
`queue` bool \| None default: None	If True, will place the request on the queue, if the queue has been enabled. If False, will not put this event on the queue, even if the queue has been enabled. If None, will use the queue setting of the gradio app.
`batch` bool default: False	If True, then the function should process a batch of inputs, meaning that it should accept a list of input values for each parameter. The lists should be of equal length (and be up to length `max_batch_size`). The function is then required to return a tuple of lists (even if there is only 1 output component), with each list in the tuple corresponding to one output component.
`max_batch_size` int default: 4	Maximum number of inputs to batch together if this is called from the queue (only relevant if batch=True)
`preprocess` bool default: True	If False, will not run preprocessing of component data before running 'fn' (e.g. leaving it as a base64 string if this method is called with the `Image` component).
`postprocess` bool default: True	If False, will not run postprocessing of component data before returning 'fn' output to the browser.
`cancels` dict[str, Any] \| list[dict[str, Any]] \| None default: None	A list of other events to cancel when This listener is triggered. For example, setting cancels=[click_event] will cancel the click_event, where click_event is the return value of another components .click method. Functions that have not yet run (or generators that are iterating) will be cancelled, but functions that are currently running will be allowed to finish.
`every` float \| None default: None	Run this event 'every' number of seconds while the client connection is open. Interpreted in seconds. Queue must be enabled.

upload

gradio.UploadButton.upload(fn, ···)

Description

This listener is triggered when the user uploads a file into the component (e.g. when the user uploads a video into a video component). This method can be used when this component is in a Gradio Blocks.
