Image Manipulation
Images come in all sorts and sizes, but your users must be able to view them on any platform or device. You may also want to manipulate these images even further, to make everything look picture perfect for you and your users. Transloadit can convert images into various formats, or resize, crop and (auto-)rotate them. We can also apply watermarks and other effects, or optimize images to reduce their size without loss of quality, and much more.
Robots
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can make them work together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
-
/image/optimize
reduces the size of images while maintaining the same visual quality -
/image/resize
resizes, crops, changes colorization, rotation, and applies text and watermarks to images
