  • Video & audio encoding

    We support a wide variety of high quality video and audio outputs for web, mobile and other devices. Get the best quality for every device.

  • Watermarking

    Overlay a logo in your videos or images and enhance your brand. Protect your copyrights or make your content even more appealing to your users.

  • Image resizing

    Resize, crop and rotate images. We even offer multiple strategies for resizing images. Converting into other formats is simple.

  • Presets & full control

    We allow full control over all ffmpeg parameters to cover your special cases. Of course there are also presets if you just want things to work right away!

  • Extract video thumbnails

    You can extract any amount of frames from your videos and specify an offset in seconds for each. This makes building video preview slideshows a breeze!

  • Import files over HTTP

    You can also transload existing files easily without uploading them one by one. With our API you can transload big amounts of files without a hassle.

  • Storing on S3, Cloudfiles, SFTP

    Storing files is tricky business. We store your files on your S3 bucket, Rackspace Cloudfiles or SFTP depending on what you need.

  • Multifile upload, no size limits

    Let your users select multiple files in any modern browser. We start processing them as soon as the first file comes in. Files can be larger than even 2GB!

  • Metadata

    We extract metadata from even the most exotic file formats. Want the GPS coordinates of where a video was taken? We got you covered!

  • Powerful jQuery plugin

    We build on HTML5 and javascript for all uploading features, there is no flash. We display a nice upload progress bar to your users which you can customize.

  • Ultra fast encoding

    We build on node.js, we start encoding already during the upload and we have many 8-core machines with 16GB RAM each. This makes everything really fast.

  • Mix it up

    Using simple syntax you can combine everything. How about encoding a video, extracting thumbnails, then resizing & watermarking them and then storing everything? No problem!

The Transloadit crew has built something simple, elegant, powerful, and fun.
I love their "robots".
