About

Transloadit is a file infrastructure platform that provides upload handling, file importing and exporting, and server-side processing through a single API. It supports video encoding, audio encoding, image processing, document processing, file filtering, code evaluation, media cataloging, file compressing, and content delivery workflows.

The hosted service includes SDKs for browser, mobile, and backend integration, plus resumable uploads via tus, parallel processing steps, and connectors for cloud storage and transfer protocols such as S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Dropbox, FTP, SFTP, Supabase, and HTTP. The pricing page lists a perpetual Community plan with 5 GB per month, 200 priority slots per region, 2 collaborators, and a 0.5 GB file size limit; output video and audio are trimmed and images are watermarked on that plan.

  • 2 collaborators included
  • 0.5 GB file size limit

This free tier is a perpetual Community plan with real monthly capacity, not a time-limited trial, and the page does not indicate that a credit card is required. Compared with the $54/month Startup plan, it keeps the same core access but with tighter caps and trial-style output limits, so its practical value is about the price of the cheapest paid plan while still being clearly below it.

What's included in the free tier

  • Access to every Robot, with free-tier trial limits.
  • 5 GB monthly usage allowance.
  • 200 priority slots per region.
