The official way to do it is now https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/file/latest/

This is an addition that came in Elm 0.19.

Now the official Http package supports it as well. Here is an example from https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm/http/latest/Http#request

import File
import Http

type Msg = Uploaded (Result Http.Error ())

upload : File.File -> Cmd Msg
upload file =
  Http.request
    { method = "PUT"
    , headers = []
    , url = "https://example.com/publish"
    , body = Http.fileBody file
    , expect = Http.expectWhatever Uploaded
    , timeout = Nothing
    , tracker = Nothing
    }
