title: stagedUploadsCreate - GraphQL Admin
description: |-
  Creates staged upload targets for file uploads such as images, videos, and 3D models.

  Use the `stagedUploadsCreate` mutation instead of direct file creation mutations when:

  - **Uploading large files**: Files over a few MB benefit from staged uploads for better reliability
  - **Uploading media files**: Videos, 3D models, and high-resolution images
  - **Bulk importing**: CSV files, product catalogs, or other bulk data
  - **Using external file sources**: When files are stored remotely and need to be transferred to Shopify

  The `stagedUploadsCreate` mutation is the first step in Shopify's secure two-step upload process:

  **Step 1: Create staged upload targets** (this mutation)
  - Generate secure, temporary upload URLs for your files.
  - Receive authentication parameters for the upload.

  **Step 2: Upload files and create assets**
  - Upload your files directly to the provided URLs using the authentication parameters.
  - Use the returned `resourceUrl` as the `originalSource` in subsequent mutations like `fileCreate`.

  This approach provides better performance for large files, handles network interruptions gracefully,
  and ensures secure file transfers to Shopify's storage infrastructure.

  > Note:
  > File size is required when uploading
  > [`VIDEO`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/StagedUploadTargetGenerateUploadResource#enums-VIDEO) or
  > [`MODEL_3D`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/StagedUploadTargetGenerateUploadResource#enums-MODEL_3D)
  > resources.

  After creating staged upload targets, complete the process by:

  1. **Uploading files**: Send your files to the returned [`url`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.url) using the provided
  [`parameters`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.parameters)
  for authentication
  2. **Creating file assets**: Use the [`resourceUrl`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.resourceUrl)
  as the `originalSource` in mutations such as:
     - [`fileCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/fileCreate):
       Creates file assets from staged uploads
     - [`productUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productUpdate):
       Updates products with new media from staged uploads

Note

File size is required when uploading [`VIDEO`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/StagedUploadTargetGenerateUploadResource#enums-VIDEO) or [`MODEL_3D`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/StagedUploadTargetGenerateUploadResource#enums-MODEL_3D) resources.

After creating staged upload targets, complete the process by:

1. **Uploading files**: Send your files to the returned [`url`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.url) using the provided [`parameters`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.parameters) for authentication

2. **Creating file assets**: Use the [`resourceUrl`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.resourceUrl) as the `originalSource` in mutations such as:

   * [`fileCreate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/fileCreate): Creates file assets from staged uploads
   * [`productUpdate`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/mutations/productUpdate): Updates products with new media from staged uploads

## Examples

* ### Create staged upload targets for a product media gallery

  #### Description

  Create staged upload targets for building a comprehensive product media gallery with images, videos, and 3D models. This example demonstrates creating upload targets for multiple media types that will be used in product galleries. The mutation returns upload URLs, resource URLs for accessing the files after upload, and all necessary \[\`parameters\`]\(https\://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget#field-StagedMediaUploadTarget.fields.parameters) for the upload process. Each target includes the upload endpoint, form parameters, and resource URLs for subsequent file operations.

* ### Create staged upload targets for different resource types

  #### Description

  Create \[staged media upload targets]\(https\://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget) for different resource types including collection images, shop images, and URL redirect imports. This example demonstrates the flexibility of the staged upload system across various Shopify features and workflows. Each resource type has specific requirements and permissions, and the response includes all necessary upload parameters. The resource URLs allow you to access and manage the uploaded files within their respective contexts.

* ### Handle staged upload validation errors and failures

  #### Description

  Handle common validation errors when creating staged upload targets, including unsupported file types and invalid filenames. This example shows how the mutation responds to problematic input with detailed error messages and field-specific error codes. The response includes both successful \[targets]\(https\://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/StagedMediaUploadTarget) and detailed error information for failed requests.

  #### Query

  ```graphql
  mutation stagedUploadsCreate($input: [StagedUploadInput!]!) {
