File Compressing
File compression allows users create single, often smaller files, or many original input files. Supporting a wide variety of compression algorithms and formats, Transloadit is able to both archive and extract entire media libraries. Combine this with our encoding and exporting capabilities, and you get a very powerful file processing pipeline.
Features
At Transloadit we call our features Robots because you can put them to work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
-
/file/compress
creates archives of files or file conversion results -
/file/decompress
extracts entire archives of files to be consumed by other Robots or exported as individual files
