Supported Formats and Codecs
To maximize compatibility, Transloadit supports many popular formats & media codecs such as:
- AAC
- Animated GIF
- DIVX
- FLV
- H263
- H264
- HLS
- JPEG
- MP3
- MP4
- MPEG-DASH
- OGG
- PCM
- PNG
- RAWYUY2
- VP6F
- VP9
- WAV
- WEBM
- WEBP
- WMAV2, WMV1, WMV2, WMV3
- XVID
But that's just a tiny and rather incoherent grab.
The list below should count as a reference for our full current offering, it is actively maintained.
If you do not see your required format or codec listed here, please let us know so we can add it.
Video Codecs
The particular set of Video Codecs that you can use can depend on the version of the underlying encoding tools that Transloadit uses for the following Robots:
- The /audio/concat Robot
- The /audio/encode Robot
- The /audio/loop Robot
- The /audio/merge Robot
- The /meta/write Robot
- The /video/adaptive Robot
- The /video/concat Robot
- The /video/encode Robot
- The /video/merge Robot
- The /video/thumbs Robot
Transloadit recommends having: ffmpeg_stack: "v2.2.3"
in these Robots' Assembly Instructions. We are intimately aware of how important
continuity is for our customers, so stack version upgrades are always opt-in.
Stack versions are typically supported for many, many years before we start issuing deprecation warnings
(we have been supporting "v1.0.0"
for almost 10 years now).

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name | Description | ||||||||
