+| checks | String | Optional. Run server-side checks before uploading files. For example, `"'file.size' < '1mb'"` will check if the file size is less than 1 MB. Check [Upload API docs](https://imagekit.io/docs/api-reference/upload-file/upload-file#upload-api-checks) to learn more. Notice the quotes around `file.size` and `1mb`; otherwise, you will get an error `Your request contains invalid syntax for the checks parameter.` |
 
 > Make sure that you have specified authenticator and publicKey in IKUpload or in the parent IKContext component as a prop. The authenticator expects an asynchronous function that resolves with an object containing the necessary security parameters i.e signature, token, and expire.
