Styling an upload button for images and videos

Question

I'm trying to style my input as along these lines:

Is there a way do style an input like this?

 <input id="fileupload" class="file-upload" name="media" type="file">

.file-upload {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
  opacity: 0;
}

.file-upload-input {
  display: none;
}

Answer 1

Try this

<input id="fileupload" name="media" type="file">
<label for="file" class="file-upload">Choose a file</label>

<style>
#fileupload {
  width: 0.1px;
  height: 0.1px;
  opacity: 0;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: -1;
}
.file-upload {
  font-size: 20px;
  font-family: sans-serif;
  color: #fff;
  border-radius: 7px;
  padding: 10px 20px;
  background: #bd1a59;
}
.file-upload-input {
  display: none;
}
</style>

Live example:

  position: absolute;
}
.file-upload {
  color: white;
  width: 326px;
  padding: 13px;
  cursor: pointer;
  font-size: 13px;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-align: center;
  border-radius: 8px;
  background: #ff4279;
  display: inline-block;
  font-family: sans-serif;
}

<input id="fileupload" name="media" type="file">
<label for="file" class="file-upload">Choose a File</label>
