MachForm 28 Released. All-New File Uploads, Image Editing and Faster Speed!
We are thrilled to announce the immediate availability of MachForm v28!
We have focused our energy on completely overhauling one of the most critical parts of data collection: File Uploads.
We have rebuilt the file upload engine from the ground up using an all-new uploader with modernized UI and rock-solid performance to handle the unstable mobile networks and massive file sizes of the modern web.
Here is why you (and your users) are going to love it:
Modern Drag-and-Drop Interface
A sleek, modernized UI that looks great on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.
Edit & Compress Images
The new file uploader comes with a built-in image editor.
Crop & Resize: Users can crop their images or resize them directly within the upload window before hitting submit.
Image Compression: We now support automatic image compression. This significantly reduces file sizes without sacrificing quality. Saving you storage space and speeding up upload times for your users.
Bulletproof Reliability
Connection drop? Wi-Fi hiccup? The new engine is smart. It detects network failures and retries automatically, ensuring you get the files you need without user frustration. You can even pause and resume the upload process!
Blazing Fast Concurrent Uploads
We have unlocked parallel processing. Instead of waiting for files to upload one by one, MachForm now uploads multiple files simultaneously.
- MachForm Self-Hosted: Enjoy 5x concurrent uploads instantly.
- MachForm Cloud: Powered by Transloadit processing grid, we push this to 20x concurrent uploads for massive throughput.
MachForm Cloud + Transloadit
For our MachForm Cloud users, we have integrated directly with Transloadit (the industry leader in file processing). This allows us to offload the heavy lifting from your forms, enabling massive 5GB file uploads and 20x concurrent processing without slowing down your form.
Our integration with Transloadit allows us to drastically increase the per-file upload size limits for MachForm Cloud:
- Personal Plan: Increased from 50MB to 1GB per file.
- Small Business Plan: Increased from 150MB to 2GB per file.
- Enterprise Plan: Now supports a massive 4GB per file.
- Enterprise Plus Plan: Now supports a massive 5GB per file.
Powerful Updates. Same Price. Best of all, these upgrades come at no additional cost. We have included the Transloadit integration and increased storage limits as part of your existing MachForm Cloud subscription.
