How to Remove the Label From a FileField or ImageField in Django

In this article, we show how to remove the label from a FileField or ImageField in Django.

When you create a FileField or ImageField in Django, in order for a user to upload a file or image, a label next to the FileField will be created of the next of the field.

Most of the times, this label is unnecessary and unwanted.

So how can we remove this FileField or ImageField?

Well, if you creating a database table (let's say, for example, Video), then you would have the following code shown below.

There are 2 types of things you can build with FileFields and ImageFields, database tables and forms.

We'll first show database tables, then forms.

Database Tables (Models)

If creating a FileField or ImageField for a database table, then you can add the following attribute of, verbose_name="", to remove the label next to the field.

This is shown in the code below for the Video database table.

from django.db import models class Video(models.Model): name= models.CharField(max_length=500) videofile= models.FileField(upload_to='videos/', null=True, verbose_name="") def __str__(self): return self.name + ": " + str(self.videofile)

Now, the FileField will have the label removed next to it.

Forms

If you are simply creating a form with a FileField or ImageField, then you just have to add the following attribute of, label="", to remove the label next to the field.

The is shown in the code below for the VideoForm form.

from django import forms class VideoForm(forms.Form): name= forms.CharField(max_length=200) videofile= forms.FileField(upload_to='videos/', label="")

Now the label next to the FileField will be removed.

And this is how you can remove the label from a FileField or ImageField from either database tables or forms in Django.
