Filestack overview

What is Filestack?

Filestack is the ultimate file upload, transformation, and delivery service for developers. It was made by people who know a lot about files, and they keep working on it so that it is always fast, reliable, easy to use, safe, and smart. From its 99.999% upload success rate to its cloud storage support and AI/ML features like object detection, Filestack has everything your users need to have an enjoyable file experience. It’s developer-focused, too, making integration easy with its various SDKs.

Simplify content tasks using Filestack Workflows, an easy-to-manage UI that lets you automate file tasks into a single API call. Add intelligence to your workflow so that your content is tagged, safe for work (SFW), and virus-free before it ever hits your app. We’ve coded in the logic so that you don’t have to. Give your users the ideal file upload experience with just a few lines of code.

Key benefits of using Filestack

  • Give your users the upload method they need and deserve, including drag and drop, copy and paste, straight from a camera, or even social media.

  • Make uploads convenient with multiple file uploads and progress bar tracking.

  • Stay true to your theme with Filestack’s CSS customization options.

  • Make image transformations like borders, effects, filters, resizing, cropping, and rotating, among others, easy.

  • You can add watermarks to images by putting other images on top of them. Using the conversion parameter in the image URL, you can change the size and location of the watermark.

  • Add AI/ML features to your app or website, such as object recognition, virus detection, detection of explicit content, image and video tagging, optical character recognition, and a lot more.

  • Save plenty of time by automating file upload and transformation processes with Filestack Workflows.
