Two products. One video platform.

Encode into your own storage, or let us host, deliver, and play it for you.

Product 1

Transcoding API

Bring your own storage. Pay per output minute.

Codecs

H.264, HEVC, VP9, AV1

All major codecs supported. From widely compatible H.264 to royalty-free AV1. Up to 8K resolution.

Packaging

HLS & DASH packaging

Output to HLS, DASH, or both from shared CMAF segments. Multi-bitrate playlists, fMP4 or TS. No extra cost.

Pricing

From €0.005/min

Pay per minute of output video. No monthly fees, no reserved capacity. Audio tracks included free.

Quality

VMAF-targeted encoding

Quality tiers tuned to specific VMAF scores. Economy (85–90), Standard (93–95), Premium (97–99).

Events

Webhooks

Get notified on job progress, completion, and failures. Build reactive pipelines without polling.

Storage

S3, GCS & Azure

Read from and write to any major cloud storage. Or use any public URL as input.

Product 2

Video Hosting

Upload, transcode, host, and stream via global CDN. See how it works →

Presets

Auto or custom ladder

Upload with zero config and get a CMAF ABR ladder from your app defaults. Or pick a system preset. Or define your own — up to 20 variants, full control.

Codec mix

Multi-codec manifests

Same ladder, parallel codecs — AV1 1080/720/480 alongside H.264 1080/720/480 in one manifest. Modern players pick AV1; older devices fall back to H.264 at the same resolution.

CDN

Global delivery & player

Edge-cached streaming with signed URLs, domain CORS whitelist, and three visibility tiers. Vidstack-based player, embed by URL or iframe — works everywhere.

Dashboard

Managed end-to-end

Enable hosting, configure defaults, create presets, and track per-video storage and egress costs — all from the dashboard. Multipart uploads up to 5 GB included.

Built for developers

Clean, predictable APIs. Type-safe clients. Stripe-style resource IDs.

How it works

One API call. Three steps.

1

Point to your source

Pass an S3, GCS, Azure, or public URL. We fetch the video and probe it automatically.

2

Pick your outputs

Choose codecs, resolutions, and format — MP4, HLS, DASH, or adaptive. Or use a preset.

3

Get your files

Encoded files are written to your storage. Webhook fires when the job completes.

Simple, usage-based pricing

Pay per output minute. Per GB stored. Per GB delivered. No monthly fees.

Transcoding API

€0.005 / output minute, starting from
H.264 / 480p €0.005/min
