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 2022, as well as our open source projects uppy.io and tus.io, which are changing how the world does file uploading.
Write metadata to an image
Writing metadata to files is easy with the /meta/write Robot. You just need to supply the data_to_write parameter and set the keys and values that you want to write to the file. Please upload a file below. Once the encoding completes, see how the copyright notice is now part of the extracted metadata of the result file.
⚠️ 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.
1. Handle uploads
We can handle uploads of your users directly. Learn more ›

For demo simplicity we'll link you to the original file, but you may also want to
learn how to make videos
compatible for all browsers.
":original": {
"robot": "/upload/handle"
}
/upload/handle Robot
This bot receives uploads that your users throw at you from browser or apps, or that you throw at us programmatically
2. Write metadata to media
We can enrich media files with metadata and use them to generate playlists. Learn more ›

/meta/write Robot
This bot writes metadata into any file that supports it
3. Export files to Amazon S3
We export to the storage platform of your choice. Learn more ›
Once all files have been exported, we can ping a URL of your choice with the Assembly status JSON.

}
/s3/store Robot
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.

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
-
Pingbacks
Configure anotify_urlto let your server receive transcoding results JSON in thetransloaditPOST field.
