Built for the people who ship media
Everything you need to host, stream, and share media
One platform for uploads, adaptive encoding, players, sharing, downloads, an API, and analytics — billed by what you actually use.
Resumable uploads to the edge
Drop in files up to 10 GB. Uploads go straight to storage, resume after a dropped connection, and never proxy through a server.
Direct-to-storage
Files upload straight to object storage with presigned URLs — fast, and your bytes never bottleneck on a server.
Resumable & parallel
Multipart uploads resume after a tab close or network drop, and chunks upload in parallel for full-speed transfers.
Video, audio & images
One pipeline for every media type, with automatic previews and metadata extraction on upload.
Adaptive HLS streaming
Every video is transcoded to multi-bitrate HLS so it plays smoothly on any connection, with a first-frame thumbnail generated automatically.
480p / 720p / 1080p
Automatic adaptive-bitrate encoding picks the best quality for each viewer's connection in real time.
Player included
A polished, themeable HLS player with a quality selector — or embed your own with the standard .m3u8 output.
Encoding on demand
Encoding is an optional add-on with a monthly quota. Skip it and videos still play from the original file.
Share pages & embeds
Every asset gets a public share page and an embeddable player that unfurls beautifully on social with Open Graph cards.
Instant share links
Publish an asset and get a clean, OG-rich share page for video, audio, or images — no setup.
Embeddable players
Drop a one-line iframe into any site or CMS. The player is responsive and inherits no tracking.
Social-ready unfurls
Twitter player cards and Open Graph metadata are generated for every asset so links look great everywhere.
Downloads & signed links
Hand off original files with expiring, signed download links — no accounts, no leaks, full control over access windows.
Expiring downloads
Mint signed links that expire from minutes to days. Recipients download the original, nobody needs an account.
Access on your terms
Draft vs published states control what is public. Originals stay private until you choose to share them.
Edge delivery
Files and segments are served from a global edge network — fast for every viewer, with zero egress fees.
A clean developer API
Automate everything: upload, encode, generate links, and manage sharing programmatically with API keys and a typed REST surface.
REST API + keys
Issue scoped API keys and drive uploads, downloads, and sharing from your own backend or scripts.
Rate-limited & safe
Per-key rate limits and clear, machine-readable errors make the API safe to put in production.
Webhooks & events
Built-in delivery analytics and an idempotent billing pipeline keep your usage and revenue in sync.
Delivery analytics
See views, downloads, streams, unique visitors, and where your audience is — by country, device, and referring domain.
Views & downloads
Track every view, stream, and download with a clean dashboard and a selectable time range.
Audience geography
Break delivery down by country, device, and referrer to learn where your media performs.
Built to scale
Analytics are powered by an edge-native pipeline that handles millions of events without slowing delivery.
