How to add HTML <input> accept Attribute

Specify what file types the user can pick from the file input dialog box.

Definition and Usage

The accept attribute specifies a filter for what file types the user can pick from the file input dialog box.

Note: The accept attribute can only be used with <input type="file">.

Tip: Do not use this attribute as a validation tool. File uploads should be validated on the server.

Browser Support

The numbers in the table specify the first browser version that fully supports the attribute.
