File Filtering
Our file filtering service guarantees that each file that is sent to us by your users finds it way into the appropriate encoding pipeline. It also offers you protection against the dangers of the digital world. Millions of trojans, viruses, malware, and other malicious threats are rejected as soon as they hit out platform, so that they never even reach yours.
Robots
At Transloadit, we call our features Robots because you can link them together to create encoding pipelines unique to your use case.
-

directs files to different encoding Steps based on your conditions
-
/file/verify
verifies your files are the type that you want
-
/file/virusscan
