Uploading large files can be problematic, especially when users have unstable internet connections. A failed upload often means starting over from scratch.

Fortunately, FilePond supports chunked uploads, allowing files to be split into smaller pieces and uploaded sequentially. Combined with Laravel, this provides a reliable way to handle large file uploads while supporting progress tracking and resumable uploads.

In this tutorial, we'll build a chunked file upload system using FilePond and Laravel.

Make a blade file upload.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

        <title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>

        <!-- Fonts -->
        <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.bunny.net">
        <link href="https://fonts.bunny.net/css?family=instrument-sans:400,500,600" rel="stylesheet" />

        <!-- Styles / Scripts -->
        @if (file_exists(public_path('build/manifest.json')) || file_exists(public_path('hot')))
            @vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
        @endif

        <link href="https://unpkg.com/filepond/dist/filepond.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script src="https://unpkg.com/filepond/dist/filepond.min.js"></script>

    <body ">
        <div>
            <input type="file" class="filepond" name="file" />

        <script>
            const csrf = document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').content;

            FilePond.create(document.querySelector('input[type="file"]'), {
                chunkUploads: true,
                chunkSize: 5 * 1024 * 1024,

                allowMultiple: false,

                server: {

                        url: '/upload',
                        method: 'POST',

                            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': csrf
                        }
                    },

                    patch: {
                        url: '/upload/',
                        method: 'PATCH',
                        headers: {

                            'Accept': 'application/json'
                        }
                    },

                    revert: {
                        url: '/revert',
