We are a Swiss Army knife for your files
Transloadit is a service for companies with developers. We handle their file uploads and media processing. This means that they can save on development time and the heavy machinery that is required to handle big volumes in an automated way.
We pioneered with this concept in 2009 and have made our customers happy ever since. We are still actively improving our service in 2026, as well as our open source projects uppy.io and tus.io, which are changing how the world does file uploading.
Take a scrolling screenshot of a website automatically (by using a URL)
Transloadit can take a scrolling screenshot of any website or HTML file. In this demo below we let 🤖/html/convert take a PNG screenshot from the Uppy website.
We then feed this screenshot into 🤖/video/merge, and use the scroll
FFmpeg parameter to automatically generate a video that slowly pans down the screenshot we took.
To achieve this effect we use the scroll filter, to animate the image moving down. The value of
v determines how fast the image will scroll. After this, we use the crop filter to define the
size of our "viewbox".
Step 1:
Take screenshots of webpages or HTML files
We can process your documents in an automated way, saving you costly resources.Learn more

"result": true,
"format": "png",
"fullpage": false,

"width": 1024
}Step 2:
Merge video, audio, images into one video
We offer a variety of video encoding features like optimizing for different devices, merging, injecting ads, changing audio tracks, or adding company logos.Learn more

So many ways to integrate
Transloadit is a service for companies with developers. And there are many ways developers can put Transloadit to good use inside your company to automate media processing.
Bulk imports
Add one of our import Robots to acquire and transcode massive media libraries.
Handling uploads
We are the experts at reliably handling uploads. We wrote the protocol for it.
Front-end integration
We integrate with web browsers via our next-gen file uploader Uppy and SDKs for Android and iOS.
Back-end integration
Send us batch jobs in any server language using one of our SDKs or directly interfacing with our REST API.
Pingbacks
Configure a notify_url to let your server receive transcoding results JSON in the transloadit POST field.
On-demand
Use our Smart CDN to adapt files on-demand and stream them directly to your users.
Document processing
Image manipulation
