File Compressing
File compression allows users to combine large amounts of original input files to create a single, often smaller file. File compression is an important tool for keeping data usage under control. 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.
Robots
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can link them 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
