APIs to automate annoying media stuff

Overview

What it is

Use ittybit's media APIs to store, transform, and get intelligence from your video, audio, and image files. Start with a few lines of code and scale to millions of uploads when you're ready. Try ittybit free (no credit card required).

Intent

I need it when

Automatically process and transform user-uploaded video, audio, and image files at scale

ittybit provides APIs to handle transcoding, format conversion, compression (up to 90%), resizing, and cropping with automatic scaling from small projects to millions of uploads. Developers write a few lines of code and the platform handles infrastructure, GPUs, and load-balancing.

Enhance video player experience with subtitles, chapters, and thumbnails

ittybit automates generation of VTT/SRT subtitles, chapter markers with titles, and thumbnail preview tracks. Track generation is free; users only pay for the underlying tasks (speech, outline, image creation).

Build multi-step media workflows that trigger automatically on user uploads

ittybit's Automations and Runs APIs allow developers to define reusable workflows with parallel execution, sequential chaining, and conditional logic. Workflows trigger on demand or via webhooks, scaling to process 40,000 hours of content per day.

Control media delivery privacy and access with flexible rules

ittybit's File Access Rules (Startup plan+) enable signed URLs for private content, georestrictions, and IP allowlists. Advanced data retention (30 days on Scale plan) supports compliance and troubleshooting.

Extract searchable metadata and intelligence from media files

ittybit's Intelligence Tasks enable AI-powered summaries, speech-to-text, NSFW detection, image descriptions, and custom prompts. This makes media searchable, filterable, and accessible without building custom ML pipelines.
