NextGen Public Image Uploader is a plugin that is designed to intergrate with the popular gallery plugin, NextGen Gallery for wordpress. While it is designed to intergrate with NGG, it can also be used as a standalone image uploading plugin as well. This plugin was designed from the ground up, to be flexible, secure and stable. It boasts many features, including:

Thumbnail Generation. When uploading directly to a gallery, this plugin will not only update the gallery list, it will also create thumbnails automatically. No extra work needed, galleries are automatically updated.

Direct to gallery upload. For example [ngg_public_uploader gid="3"] would create an upload page that sends all uploads directly to gallery 3.

Upload to queue. If you use NextGen Gallery, but don't want user uplods to be moved automatically, you can enable the moderation queue. All user uploads will go into an upload directory as set in the settings page, and then put into a temporary holding queue until they are approved. You can set specific user roles that can access the queue, with options of either deleting the images uploaded, or moving them to a set gallery.

Even if you don't use NextGen Gallery, this plugin can still be used to allow users to upload images to a directory you specify. From there, you are free to use the images in posts, or anywhere else on your site you want.

E-mail notification. This plugin can also be set up to notify you when a user uploads images.

Create galleries. Yes, you can even make new galleries, right from the front-end.
