File Importing
Transloadit can handle file uploads by your users, or import large media libraries that already exist. Just point us to the source, and we will start encoding the files. The results are then exported back to the original storage solution, or to a completely different one. You decide. That's Transloadit's versatility at its finest.
Robots
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can link them together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
