Today we are excited to announce a big new feature: real-time encoding.

When we designed the Transloadit API, we tried to keep things simple.

Everybody knows how dreadful it is to create an account for a new service you want to try out. So to make things easier for new Transloaders, we just added a new demo section where you can try a wide range of encoding scenarios before you sign up.

A frequently requested feature is to allow more flexibility when it comes to choosing how different upload files are processed.

We are happy to announce our newly baked-in support for auto rotating iPhone video uploads.

Today, we are happy to announce the latest addition to our service: please welcome the /cloudfiles/store Robot!

Most image scaling software has a flaw that can impact the quality of the results in varying degrees. For further details, you should read this article.

At Transloadit, we use HAProxy "The Reliable, High Performance TCP/HTTP Load Balancer", so that we can offer different services on one port. For instance, depending on the hostname, a request to port 80 can be routed to either Node.js (in case of api.transloadit.com) or Nginx (in case of www.transloadit.com). HAProxy has been good to us and setting it up was a breeze. But getting HAProxy to log on Ubuntu Lucid has proven harder than I thought. All of the tutorials I found either didn't cover logging or contained deprecated information. Google suddenly stopped being my friend.

We are happy to let you know that we have open sourced the Transloadit jQuery SDK on GitHub.

You wanted it, you got it. We are happy to present to you:

We have been hard at work again this weekend, and one of the first fruits of our labor is our shiny new Transloadit iPhone SDK:

Today we are thrilled to announce the commercial availability of transloadit.com.

Exciting news, we have overcome our earlier setback and are now headed for launching on:

A few weeks ago, the team gathered in one of those tiny Skype conference windows to discuss an important question: should we launch Transloadit in its current version?

As we're getting ever closer to launch, we have decided to make a few last changes to our API in order to make it even more consistent.

As we are ramping up our efforts to launch Transloadit commercially, we have decided to create a blog. We will be using this section of our website to make any announcements, and to share with you some of the things we learned while building the world's first uploading and encoding service.
