Using `UploadFile` has several advantages over `bytes`:

|

* You don't have to use `File()` in the default value.
|

* It uses a "spooled" file:
|
||||
* A file stored in memory up to a maximum size limit, and after passing this limit it will be stored in disk.
|
||||
* This means that it will work well for large files like images, videos, large binaries, etc. without consuming all the memory.

You can make a file optional by using standard type annotations:

## Recap

|
||||
Use `File` to declare files to be uploaded as input parameters (as form data).
