# Request Files

You can define files to be uploaded by the client using `File`.

!!! info
    To receive uploaded files, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

    E.g. `pip install python-multipart`.

    This is because uploaded files are sent as "form data".

## Import `File`

Import `File` and `UploadFile` from `fastapi`:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+"

    ```Python hl_lines="1"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.8+ nicht annotiert"

    !!! tip "Tipp"
        Bevorzugen Sie die `Annotated`-Version, falls möglich.

    ```Python hl_lines="1"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

## Определите параметры `File`

Создайте параметры `File` так же, как вы это делаете для `Body` или `Form`:

=== "Python 3.9+"

    ```Python hl_lines="9"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py!}
    ```

=== "Python 3.6+"

    ```Python hl_lines="8"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an.py!}
    ```
