capabilities that are available right inside our encoding pipelines to further

Smart CDN
A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is the best place to host content. Files are cached
and distributed globally in order to keep latencies low. Transloadit can make sure
that content is delivered from a data center close to you or your user, wherever in
the world that may be.
Compress files and save data
With encoding jobs potentially involving large amounts of input files, file
compression can be instrumental for keeping data usage under control. Transloadit is
able to archive and extract entire media libraries, and supports a wide variety of
compression algorithms and formats.

Integration
HTML & Javascript
One of the many ways to use Transloadit is for handling file uploads in browsers. This makes a good case for using Transloadit with Uppy, our open source file uploader.
This demo embeds Uppyʼs Dashboard to handle uploads:
<link
href="https://releases.transloadit.com/uppy/v4.2.0/uppy.min.css"
rel="stylesheet"
/>
<button id="browse">Select Files</button>
<script type="module">
import { Uppy, Dashboard, ImageEditor, RemoteSources, Transloadit }
from 'https://releases.transloadit.com/uppy/v4.2.0/uppy.min.mjs'
const uppy = new Uppy()
.use(Transloadit, {
waitForEncoding: true,
assemblyOptions: {
params: {
auth: { key: 'YOUR_TRANSLOADIT_KEY' },
template_id: 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID',
},
},
})
.use(Dashboard, { trigger: '#browse' })
.use(ImageEditor, { target: Dashboard })
.use(RemoteSources, {
companionUrl: 'https://api2.transloadit.com/companion',
})
.on('complete', ({ transloadit }) => {
console.log(transloadit[0].results)
})
.on('error', (error) => {
console.error(error)
