Customize the Uploader action buttons (Browse, Upload, Clear) with custom HTML content using the buttons property. This enables you to create branded or themed button styles that match your application design. Refer to the following example.

index.jsx

import { createElement } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { UploaderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
export default class App extends React.Component {
    uploadObj;
    uploadEle = createElement('span', { className: 'upload e-icons', innerHTML: 'Upload All' });
    clearEle = createElement('span', { className: 'remove e-icons', innerHTML: 'Clear All' });
    path = {
        removeUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/FileUploader/Remove',
        saveUrl: 'https://services.syncfusion.com/react/production/api/FileUploader/Save'
    };
    dropAreaRef;
    onCreated() {
        this.uploadObj.dropArea = this.dropAreaRef;
        this.uploadObj.dataBind();
    }
    render() {
        return (<div className='control-pane' ref={dropAreaEle => this.dropAreaRef = dropAreaEle}>
                <div className='control-section row uploadpreview'>
                <div className='col-lg-9'>
                <div className='upload_wrapper'>
                <div id='preview'/>
                    {/* Render Uploader */}
                    <UploaderComponent id='fileUpload' type='file' ref={upload => { this.uploadObj = upload; }} asyncSettings={this.path} autoUpload={false} buttons={{ browse: 'Choose file', clear: this.clearEle, upload: this.uploadEle }} created={this.onCreated = this.onCreated.bind(this)}/>
                </div>
                </div>
                </div>
        </div>);
    }
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('fileupload'));
