“Upp” just means “up”. So used for like:
- Vi måste gå upp kl. 10 imorgon (we have to go up at 10 AM tomorrow)
- den är så högt upp att jag inte kan nå den (it’s so high up I can reach it)
- Den rör sig upp och ner (it moves up and down)
Uppför” is used when something is moving up something. It describes a movement. Ex:
- Gå uppför en trappa (walk up a stair)
- det är jobbigt att cykla uppför en backe (it’s exhausting to bike up a hill)
Sometimes people use “upp” instead of “uppför” because they’re lazy :)

@suchaheavenlyway Thank you! Actually my question is based on the last part of your answer :). Many times I see "upp" used instead of "uppför" and I got so confused about when I can use each of which.
