# `UploadFile` class

You can define *path operation function* parameters to be of the type `UploadFile` to receive files from the request.

You can import it directly from `fastapi`:

```python
from fastapi import UploadFile
```

::: fastapi.UploadFile
    options:
        members:
            - file
            - filename
            - size
            - headers
            - content_type
            - read

@app.post("/optional-list-uploadfile")
async def read_optional_list_uploadfile(
    p: Annotated[Optional[list[UploadFile]], File()] = None,
):
    return {"file_size": [file.size for file in p] if p else None}


@pytest.mark.parametrize(
    "path",
    [
        "/optional-list-bytes",
        "/optional-list-uploadfile",
    ],
)
def test_optional_list_schema(path: str):

from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/files/")
async def create_file(file: Annotated[bytes, File()]):
    return {"file_size": len(file)}


@app.post("/uploadfile/")
async def create_upload_file(file: UploadFile):

from typing import Annotated

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/files/")
async def create_files(files: Annotated[list[bytes], File()]):
    return {"file_sizes": [len(file) for file in files]}


@app.post("/uploadfiles/")
async def create_upload_files(files: list[UploadFile]):
    return {"filenames": [file.filename for file in files]}

from fastapi import FastAPI, File, UploadFile
from fastapi.responses import HTMLResponse

app = FastAPI()


@app.post("/files/")
async def create_files(
    files: list[bytes] = File(description="Multiple files as bytes"),
):
    return {"file_sizes": [len(file) for file in files]}


@app.post("/uploadfiles/")

Aber es gibt viele Fälle, in denen Sie davon profitieren, `UploadFile` zu verwenden.

## Datei-Parameter mit `UploadFile` { #file-parameters-with-uploadfile }

Definieren Sie einen Datei-Parameter mit dem Typ `UploadFile`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[14] *}

`UploadFile` zu verwenden, hat mehrere Vorzüge gegenüber `bytes`:

Але в деяких випадках Вам може знадобитися `UploadFile`.

## Параметри файлу з `UploadFile`

Визначте параметр файлу з типом `UploadFile`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[14] *}

Використання `UploadFile` має кілька переваг перед `bytes`:

* Вам не потрібно використовувати `File()` у значенні за замовчуванням параметра.
