Import an entire folder of files from S3

🤖/s3/import allows you to import entire folders of files from your Amazon S3 account with very easy syntax. After the processing is done, you can see which files were imported in the result JSON at the bottom.

⚠️ It seems your browser does not send the referer, which we need to stop people from (ab)using our demos in other websites. If you want to use the demos, please allow your browser to send its referer to us. Adding us to the allowlist of blockers usually helps.

🤖/image/resize

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

Step 3: Export files to Amazon S3

We export to the storage platform of your choice. Learn more ›

imported

resized

Once all files have been exported, we can ping a URL of your choice with the Assembly status JSON.

"exported": {
  "use": [
    "imported",
    "resized"
  ],
  "robot": "/s3/store",
  "path": "my_resized/",
  "credentials": "YOUR_AWS_CREDENTIALS",
  "url_prefix": "https://demos.transloadit.com/"
}

🤖/s3/store

This bot exports encoding results to Amazon S3

Since this is a store Robot, be sure to use Template Credentials so that any sensitive data is encrypted and stored in our database, making sure that they’re never exposed to any end-user.

Live Demo. See for yourself

This particular demo does not rely on file uploads and is therefore typically not initiated from web browsers. However, just so you can get a feeling for our service, we’re happy to let you run this right here regardless.

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.
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.

Get started for free

Free plan with 5 GB encoding credit
Set monthly spending limits
Try without a credit card
Highly available, globally distributed platform
Cancel at any time
Costs displayed for each upload/conversion
