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
