# Upload Images from Local File System

By default, the KendoReact Editor does not provide an option for uploading images. However, you can implement it and extend the built-in functionality.

## Paste, Drag and Drop, and Upload Images

The following example demonstrates how to:

* Add plugin which handles paste and drop DOM events, and then inserts images in Base64 format.
* Add tool and dialog with an Upload component.

> In this example the selected image files are handled on the client side, i.e., no actual upload process is being initiated. You can still re-create the scenario by using a real backend service.
