Power AI agents and teams with file infrastructure.
Upload, transform, analyze, and deliver files without building the infrastructure yourself.
What Transloadit does with your files
Let us handle what your customers upload
Whatever lands in your upload form:
images, video, audio, documents and more.
Trusted since 2009 by
the world’s most ambitious platforms.
Every file your customers send, handled from arrival to delivery.
Your customers’ uploads, processed reliably and at scale: encoding, moderation, storage and delivery — all inside secure Templates, with no pipeline for you to maintain.
Uploads that survive bad connections
Resumable uploads with the tus protocol, automatic retries on network failure, and server-side processing – no infrastructure to manage.
Drag & drop your files here
Reprocess your whole library when requirements change
Run a reusable Template over files already in your storage, processing an entire media library in manageable batches.
New sizes and formats without a redeploy
Add parameters to your file URLs to apply and layer effects, then cache and deliver every rendition globally through Smart CDN.

Let our AI assistant write one Template for everything your customers upload: video, images, audio or documents. Each file goes to the Steps that fit it, one API call runs them in parallel, and we ping your servers as results land.

Target the United States, Europe, or Asia Pacific for data residency, or use our global endpoint to geo-route each Assembly to the closest of all three regions.
Three regions. Your routing choice.
Pin processing to one region for data residency, or have uploads and requests routed to the closest region automatically.

Your first workflow
From first workflow to production in days, not quarters
Describe the workflow your customers’ uploads need. You’ll get a reusable Template, your own storage connected, and production-ready integration code — without building the pipeline yourself.
Let AI create your Template
Describe your file workflow. AI drafts a reusable Template for you to review and refine.
Fits the stack you already run
Use our popular open source uploader Uppy or choose one of our many backend SDKs.
Uppy File Uploader
Uppy is the open-source file uploader created and maintained by Transloadit. We originally built it to solve browser-upload problems reported by Transloadit customers, then released it under the MIT License for everyone to use. Uppy works with many upload backends; with Transloadit, it is the official browser uploader and provides first-party support for resumable uploads, remote sources, and Assembly progress.

Native SDKs for iOS, macOS, and Android with resumable uploads powered by tus.

Integrate file processing into your backend with a few lines of code.

Developers love Transloadit
Engineering teams trust us with their customers’ uploads, so they can spend their time on the product instead of the file pipeline.
“Having a solution for both uploading and transcoding has been a godsend for the current scale that we are at five years after first choosing Transloadit.”

Frequently asked questions
What does Transloadit do for my platform?
It takes the files your customers upload and handles everything after that: receiving them, processing them — encoding video, resizing images, converting documents, running AI — then storing and delivering the results. One API covers all of it, so your team ships features instead of maintaining a file pipeline. See what we can do.
How do my customers upload files?
Drop Uppy, the open source file uploader we maintain, into your app, or send files through one of our SDKs. Uploads are resumable, so a dropped connection picks up where it left off instead of starting over. Files already in cloud storage, on a server or behind a URL can be imported instead.
Which file types can Transloadit handle?
Images, video, audio, documents and archives, across hundreds of formats and codecs. Each Step skips files it can’t handle, so one Template can resize the images in an upload, encode its videos and simply store everything else. See the supported formats.
Is there a limit on file size?
The ceiling depends on your plan; see the maximum file size for each plan. You can also set a lower one yourself, so customers can’t upload more than your product expects. Talk to us if you need to go beyond it.
Can customers upload whole folders?
Yes. Uppy can let people pick folders as well as individual files, and our import Robots can bring in an entire folder from cloud storage such as Amazon S3 or Dropbox in a single Step.
How do I keep uploads secure?
Keep your processing instructions in a Template, which we store encrypted, and require Signature Authentication for requests using your Auth Key. Your backend must authenticate customers and authorize their uploads before signing requests. Signatures prevent changes to the signed parameters. Read more about our security and compliance.
What do teams build with Transloadit?
Anything where customers’ files are part of the product: course platforms transcoding lecture video, marketplaces preparing product photos, social apps screening what people post, and document workflows that pull the text out of scans. Browse solutions by industry.
How do I get started?
Create a free account; no credit card needed. The Community plan includes 5 GB a month and stays free. Describe your workflow and our AI assistant writes the Template, try it on a sample file in the browser, then connect it to your app with Uppy or an SDK.
