Ever tried uploading a video or large image to WordPress and hit the dreaded “exceeds the maximum upload size” error? Or watched a long upload fail at 90% because your connection blipped?
Uploads Unleashed fixes both problems. Instead of sending your files all at once, it splits them into small pieces behind the scenes. This means:
<ul>
<li>Get past upload size limits. Upload files larger than what your server normally allows — no need to contact your host or edit config files.</li>
<li>No more starting over. If your connection drops, or you close your browser, come back and pick up right where you left off.</li>
<li>Real-time progress. Watch your upload progress as it happens.</li>
</ul>
It works everywhere you upload in WordPress — the Media Library, the block editor, and the classic editor. Just activate the plugin and you’re done. There are no settings to configure.

Uploads Unleashed


I've uploaded several large video files without a hitch, even on a spotty hotel wifi connection that tends to drop. The fact that it picks up right where it left off instead of starting over is a game changer. Simple, reliable, and does one thing really well.


Effortless large file uploads that just works

Upload large files to WordPress without hitting size limits or losing progress when your connection drops.
