# @uppy/core
Uppy is a sleek, modular JavaScript file uploader that integrates seamlessly with any application. It’s fast, easy to use and lets you worry about more important problems than building a file uploader.
- **Fetch** files from local disk, remote urls, Google Drive, Dropbox, Instagram, or snap and record selfies with a camera;
- **Preview** and edit metadata with a nice interface;
- **Upload** to the final destination, optionally process/encode
**[Read the docs](https://uppy.io/docs)** | **[Try Uppy](https://uppy.io/examples/dashboard/)**
Uppy is being developed by the folks at [Transloadit](https://transloadit.com), a versatile file encoding service.
## Example
```js
const Uppy = require('@uppy/core')
const uppy = Uppy()
uppy.use(SomePlugin)
```
## Installation
```bash
$ npm install @uppy/core --save
```
We recommend installing from npm and then using a module bundler such as [Webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), [Browserify](http://browserify.org/) or [Rollup.js](http://rollupjs.org/).
Alternatively, you can also use this plugin in a pre-built bundle from Transloadit's CDN: Edgly. In that case `Uppy` will attach itself to the global `window.Uppy` object. See the [main Uppy documentation](https://uppy.io/docs/#Installation) for instructions.
## Documentation
Documentation for this plugin can be found on the [Uppy website](https://uppy.io/docs/uppy).
