Upload forms enable your community to share content directly with your brand through a simple interface. Present upload forms in three ways: embedded as upload buttons within gallery widgets on your website, or shared externally through dedicated URLs and QR codes.

Navigate to [UGC -> Uploads](https://app.cevoid.com/uploads) to manage your upload forms.

## How upload forms work

Upload forms provide a direct channel for your community to share content with your brand outside of social media platforms.

| Aspect                   | Description                                                                                                                      |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Where to present**     | Embedded in a [Gallery](/ugc/showcase/galleries), or shared via upload link or QR code                                           |
| **What can be uploaded** | Up to 5 photos or videos per submission with optional captions                                                                   |
| **Built-in consent**     | Usage rights step included if you have a content consent policy under [Settings -> Legal](https://app.cevoid.com/settings/legal) |
| **Where posts appear**   | All uploaded posts appear in [UGC -> Inbox](https://app.cevoid.com/inbox) for review                                             |

</Frame>

<Note>
  Uploaded posts still need to be approved by your team before going live on your website.
</Note>

1. Navigate to [UGC -> On-site widgets](https://app.cevoid.com/galleries)
2. Open the gallery you want to add upload functionality to
3. Click **Design** to access gallery settings
4. Enable ***Upload button***
5. Select the upload form to use
6. Click **Save changes**

When enabled, visitors can click the upload button in your gallery to contribute content using a popup version of your upload form.

***

## Share a link to your upload form

Each upload form generates a unique link and QR code that you can share across marketing channels.

* **Upload link:** Perfect for email campaigns, social media stories, and collecting content that influencers did not post on social media
* **QR code:** Perfect for packaging, print material, event material, and in-store displays

***

### Using the upload link

1. Navigate to [UGC -> Uploads](https://app.cevoid.com/uploads)
2. Select the upload form you want to share
3. Click **Share** to access the upload link
4. Copy the URL

***

### Using QR codes

1. Navigate to [UGC -> Uploads](https://app.cevoid.com/uploads)
2. Select the upload form you want to share
3. Click **Share** to access the upload link
4. Download the QR code

## Localization

Upload form copy can be translated under [Settings -> Translations](/general/translations).

On-site widgets determine what language to display based on your [Markets](/general/products-markets). This is also reflected in upload forms embedded in a gallery.

Upload links can include a language parameter to use the same upload form for multiple languages. For example, `https://upload.cevoid.com/poderosa-world?language=de` displays the upload form in German.

## Customer experience

This is what customers see when they use your upload form.

**Step 1:** Customer is presented with the upload form and clicks **Upload** to select photos and videos from their device.
