About
About Image Upload Shadcn
This implementation demonstrates best practices for handling file uploads in modern React applications, including drag-and-drop functionality, image preview, upload progress feedback, and seamless integration with Cloudinary's powerful image CDN and transformation API. The component features intuitive drag-and-drop interface for effortless image selection, instant image preview before upload confirmation, responsive UI built with shadcn/ui components ensuring consistent styling, Cloudinary integration for scalable, cloud-based image storage, TypeScript throughout for type safety and better developer experience, optimized image delivery through Cloudinary's global CDN, and easy deployment on Vercel for production-ready hosting. Unlike basic file upload inputs, this component provides a polished user experience with visual feedback, error handling, and professional styling that matches shadcn/ui's design language.
The Cloudinary integration eliminates the need for custom server-side upload handling, providing automatic image optimization, transformation capabilities, and reliable storage without managing your own infrastructure. This component is perfect for building user profile picture uploads in social applications, product image management in e-commerce platforms, document or receipt uploads in business applications, media galleries requiring cloud storage and CDN delivery, and any form requiring image input with professional UX. The project demonstrates how to implement file uploads in Next.js applications, integrate third-party services like Cloudinary with proper environment configuration, create reusable upload components with shadcn/ui, handle user feedback during asynchronous operations, and deploy image-heavy applications on Vercel.
The TypeScript implementation ensures type safety when working with file objects and Cloudinary responses.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you ship with Image Upload Shadcn.
Image Upload shadcn is a clean, reusable image upload component built with Next.js, TypeScript, shadcn/ui components, and Cloudinary integration for cloud-based image storage and management. It is an open source template in the shadcn.io collection of 215.
Image Upload Shadcn is made by Kushagrasarathe, an independent developer; shadcn.io lists it but did not make it. Kushagrasarathe has 1 template in the collection, and the author's page lists them.
The listing tags Image Upload Shadcn with Next.js, React and Tailwind. Those are its categories, not a dependency list: the exact packages and versions are in the repository's package.json.
Yes. The Image Upload Shadcn page embeds its live demo from image-upload-shadcn.vercel.app, and links to it so you can open the real deployment before you clone.
The Image Upload Shadcn listing was last updated on October 8, 2025. That date is the listing's, not the repository's: check the repository's commits for recent activity.
Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/kushagrasarathe/image-upload-shadcn), then follow the README. The Image Upload Shadcn page shows the usual steps and a terminal block with the commands to copy.
Install dependencies with npm install or pnpm install, then run npm run dev. The README in the Image Upload Shadcn repository says which package manager and environment variables it needs.
No. Image Upload Shadcn is cloned from its own GitHub repository, so shadcn.io isn't involved. Browsing the page and its live demo need no account either; Pro adds the premium templates, the blocks and the MCP server.
Image Upload Shadcn is tagged Next.js, so it deploys wherever a Next.js app does, such as Vercel, a Node.js server or a container. Its README may add steps for its own services.
The Image Upload Shadcn listing doesn't record a license. Check the LICENSE file in its repository (https://github.com/kushagrasarathe/image-upload-shadcn), and ask the author if there isn't one.
That depends on Image Upload Shadcn's license in its repository, which shadcn.io does not set. Read the LICENSE file before you use it in a client or paid project, and ask the author if it is unclear.
Attribution follows Image Upload Shadcn's license. Many permissive licenses ask you to keep the copyright notice and license text in your copy; its LICENSE file says exactly what.
No. The Pro license covers shadcn.io's own Pro code, blocks and premium templates. Image Upload Shadcn is the author's project, under the terms in its repository.
Kushagrasarathe supports Image Upload Shadcn, through its GitHub repository: read the docs, open an issue or look for discussions. shadcn.io does not maintain it.
Yes. Once you clone it, Image Upload Shadcn is your own code: change the theme, add pages and connect your backend. It uses shadcn/ui, so you can also add more components the same way.
Yes. Components are free with a free account and the blocks are in Pro; both are copied into your project with the shadcn CLI. Check that Image Upload Shadcn uses Tailwind CSS and the shadcn/ui setup (a components.json) before you add them, and pick the base library your project already uses.
Yes, with Pro. The shadcn.io MCP server's search_templates tool finds templates by what they are, and returns each one's repository and live demo, so your editor can set up Image Upload Shadcn for you. Your files stay on your machine.
The collection has 151 other open source Next.js templates like Image Upload Shadcn, shown at the foot of its page with the ones sharing most categories first. All of them are at /template/category/nextjs.
Kushagrasarathe has no other templates in the collection.
Yes. The 14 premium templates (Solaris, Reframe Labs, Spherule and Max and more) are built by shadcn.io and come with every Pro plan, if you want maintained code with a design file.
