# FileChooser class
File choosers let you react to the page requesting for a file.
**Signature:**
```typescript
export declare class FileChooser
```
## Remarks
`FileChooser` objects are returned via the `page.waitForFileChooser` method.
The constructor for this class is marked as internal. Third-party code should not call the constructor directly or create subclasses that extend the `FileChooser` class.
## Example
An example of using `FileChooser`:
```ts
const [fileChooser] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForFileChooser(),
page.click('#upload-file-button'), // some button that triggers file selection
]);
await fileChooser.accept(['/tmp/myfile.pdf']);
```
\*\*NOTE\*\* In browsers, only one file chooser can be opened at a time. All file choosers must be accepted or canceled. Not doing so will prevent subsequent file choosers from appearing.
## Methods
| Method | Modifiers | Description |
