uploadable = upload (transparent) = upload + able

Etymology

Uploadable breaks into up-, load, and -able: load means 'to put into or onto', as in 'load a truck', up- shows direction 'up' or 'to a remote place like the internet', and -able means 'can be done'. So, uploadable means 'able to be sent up', which in computing is 'able to be sent to a website or online system'.
