Templates are usually something you create and manage in your own Workspace. Builtin Templates are different: they are maintained by Transloadit, live inside API2, and can be referenced by template_id like any other Template.

Use Builtin Templates when you want a stable, versioned starting point for common transformations without having to create a Template first.

Names starting with builtin/ are reserved for Builtin Templates. You cannot create, edit, or delete Templates with that name prefix.

Use a Builtin Template

Set template_id to a builtin slug:

Notes:

• steps is optional. You can override or extend steps at runtime, like any other Template.
• Use builtin/<name> to resolve to the latest known version.
• Use builtin/<name>@latest for an explicit alias to the latest known version.
• Use builtin/<name>@<version> to pin to a specific version.

List Builtin Templates

Builtin Templates can be included in GET /templates using the include_builtin query parameter. See the Templates list API for details.
