Create a gzipped tar archive containing multiple result files

Using the bundle_steps functionality, the demo below will create one gzipped tar archive containing all the uploaded files and all /image/resize result files. Even if you upload multiple files, the result will be a single zip file.

1. Receive files sent by users or apps

Transloadit can handle uploads of your users directly. Learn more ›

1.7 MB · 5472 × 3648

anete-lusina-382336.jpg

1.1 MB · 3000 × 1996

We handle uploads that your users throw at you from browser or apps, or that you throw at us programatically:

tl.addFile('myfile_1', './ben-o-sullivan-382817.jpg')
tl.addFile('myfile_2', './anete-lusina-382336.jpg')

2. Resize images to 100 × 100

Transloadit can resize, crop, and (auto-)rotate images, as well as watermark them or read & write meta-data. Learn more ›

resized: {
  use: [':original'],
  robot: '/image/resize',
  height: 100,
  width: 100,
  zoom: false,
}

/image/resize Robot

This bot resizes, crops, changes colorization, rotation, and applies text and watermarks to images

3. Compress files

Transloadit can both archive and extract entire media libraries. Learn more ›

archived: {
  use: {'steps':[':original','resized'],'bundle_steps':true},
  robot: '/file/compress',
  format: 'tar',
  gzip: true,
}

/file/compress Robot

This bot Creates archives of files or file conversion results

4. Export files to Amazon S3

Transloadit is happy to export to whatever storage solution suits you best. Learn more ›

:original

resized

archived

s3.amazonaws.com/demos.transloadit.com/13/305fa0277e11e8a3eabff4d136bfeb/ben-o-sullivan-382817.tgz

Once files are exported, we ping you back with the Assembly status JSON.

exported: {
  use: ['resized','archived',':original'],
  robot: '/s3/store',
  credentials: 'demo_s3_credentials',
}

/s3/store Robot

This bot exports encoding results to Amazon S3

Since this is a store robot, be sure to use Templates so that any credentials are encrypted and stored in our database, making sure that they’re never exposed to any end-user.

Try it yourself

This live demo is powered by Uppy, our open source file uploader that you can also use without Transloadit, and tus, our open protocol for resumable file uploads that is making uploading more reliable across the world.

Full code used

This demo uses :original, a magic word to identify uploads that Transloadit accepted.

So many ways to integrate

Transloadit is a service for companies with developers. As a developer, there are many ways you can put us to good use.

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.
Backend 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.

Try it in your account

Copy these instructions to a Template of your own
(you'll be able to make changes before actually saving)
