A file upload form brings an attachment and its context into the same submission. Use these free templates for project material, client assets, or creative work, then customize the questions for your review process.
Choose a file submission template for the work
Project submission form: a starting point for a brief, supporting documents, or client project assets.
Already using a client intake form? Add a file-upload question to your copy when an attachment helps assess the request. For material needed after the project is agreed, include it in your onboarding process.
What to ask alongside a file upload
Who and which project? Ask for a contact and a project name or reference so the reviewer can match the material to the right work.
What is this file for? Ask whether it is an approved asset, a draft to review, or a reference example.
Which version should we use? Request a descriptive filename and a version or date when revisions matter.
What is still missing? Let the sender explain unfinished assets or access restrictions.
Write the requested format and size in the question instructions. Only require material the sender needs to provide at this stage; a missing optional asset should not prevent a useful first submission.
Example: collect brand assets before a client kickoff
For a website project, an agency might ask for the approved logo, a brand brief, and reference images. Label each request with its purpose: the approved logo is for production, while reference images explain a preferred direction. Ask who can confirm that the assets are current and approved for the intended use.
Add a question such as “Are these assets ready?” Use conditional logic to show the upload questions when they are ready, or ask what is missing and when to follow up. These are example questions and rules to configure in your copy.
After submission, assign a reviewer to check completeness, file versions, and permissions before the kickoff. Keep the project reference in follow-up messages so replacements can be matched to the original request.
Choose between an attachment and a shared-file link
Use an attachment when the reviewer needs the submitted version of a file. If you need a large video, a working folder, or a document that will keep changing, ask for a shared link instead. Add a Website URL question and tell the sender which reviewer needs access; verify access before relying on the link.
Youform Free accepts files up to 10MB each. Pro removes that free-plan per-file limit, with fair use still applying. Review your file sizes and current plans before sending the request.
The form collects the material and answers. If your process needs files copied into a particular storage folder or a separate approval system, verify and configure that handoff separately.
Send the published form to contributors or embed it on your website, then review incoming submissions in Youform.
Start free with unlimited forms and responses, subject to fair use. See Youform plans and features for the details.
Frequently asked questions
Are these file upload form templates free?
Yes. Make a copy with a free Youform account and customize it. Free includes file uploads up to 10MB each, conditional logic, and website embeds. See current plans for paid features and fair-use details.
Can I collect client documents and project assets?
Yes. Customize a project submission template or add a file-upload block to your own form. Ask for the client or project reference, the purpose of the file, and any context your reviewer needs. Adjust the sample questions to the work you are collecting.
What if a file is larger than 10MB?
The 10MB per-file limit applies to Free. Pro removes that free-plan limit, with fair use still applying. You can also ask for a shared-file URL when that suits your process; check that the intended reviewer can access it. See file-upload plan details.
Can someone continue if an asset is not ready?
Configure a readiness question and conditional logic to show either the upload request or a follow-up about the missing asset. Keep optional uploads optional, and explain how the sender should provide the remaining material later.
Does submitting a file mean it is approved for use?
No. Receiving a file is separate from reviewing it and confirming permission to use it. Explain the intended use and have your team check versions, completeness, and any required permission before publication or production.
