Been using this for years now as a must-have for forms
By danielsmith1000 on June 1, 2026
This is an essential plugin for your forms to allow your clients to upload multiple file types, I've been using the free version for several years now with no issues. Would definitely recommend this as a must-have on your forms.
Plugin 100% recommended

So good to have a free plugin to add file uploads. Instead of paying wpforms loads of money.
Easy File Upload
By studiomax1210 on March 18, 2026
If you are using the free version of WPForms and need to collect resumes, photos, or PDFs from your users, Filenzo is a lifesaver. It effectively unlocks a "Pro-only" feature without the $199/year price tag of the WPForms Pro plan.The Pros
- Cost-Effective: It provides a functional file upload field for free, which is usually locked behind a premium paywall in the core WPForms plugin.
- Simple Integration: It uses the native WPForms drag-and-drop interface. Once installed, a new "File Upload" field appears in your builder.
- Customization: You can restrict specific file extensions (e.g., only allowing
.jpgor.pdf) and set maximum file size limits to protect your server storage. - Email Attachments: It includes an option to attach the uploaded files directly to the admin notification email, making it easy to view submissions without logging into WordPress.
The Cons
- Dependency: It cannot work alone; it requires the base WPForms plugin to be installed.
- Limited Storage Options: Unlike the official WPForms Pro version (which integrates with Zapier or Google Drive), Filenzo primarily saves files to your WordPress uploads directory (
/wp-content/uploads/wpxform-uploads/). - Third-Party Risk: Since it is not developed by the official WPForms team (Awesome Motive), there is always a slight risk of compatibility issues during major WPForms updates.
A great addon for WPForms
By diemope80 on February 25, 2026
The WPForms lacks the possibility to upload files for free. This free addon is great for such purpose
