Integrate in Minutes

Uppy File Uploader
Uppy is the open-source file uploader created and maintained by Transloadit. We originally built it to solve browser-upload problems reported by Transloadit customers, then released it under the MIT License for everyone to use. Uppy works with many upload backends; with Transloadit, it is the official browser uploader and provides first-party support for resumable uploads, remote sources, and Assembly progress.
import React, { useState } from 'react'import { Uppy } from '@uppy/core'import { UppyContextProvider, Dropzone, FilesList, UploadButton,} from '@uppy/react'function Component () { const [uppy] = useState(() => new Uppy()) return ( <UppyContextProvider value={uppy}> <Dropzone /> <FilesList /> <UploadButton /> </UppyContextProvider> )}Apple & Android
Native SDKs for iOS, macOS, and Android with resumable uploads powered by tus.

Integrate file processing into your backend with a few lines of code.
import Transloadit from 'transloadit'const client = new Transloadit({ authKey: 'YOUR_AUTH_KEY', authSecret: 'YOUR_AUTH_SECRET',})const result = await client.createAssembly({ files: { file: './video.mp4' }, params: { template_id: 'YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID', },})Open Source Leaders
