Document Processing

Robots

At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can make them work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.

• /document/convert

  converts documents into different formats

• /document/thumbs

  generates an image for each page in a PDF file or an animated gif file that loops through all pages

• /html/convert

  takes screenshots of web pages or uploaded HTML pages
