Convertly
Convertly is a comprehensive media processing and delivery platform that combines image and video optimization, storage, and a global content delivery network (CDN) into a single service. It provides an API-first approach, allowing developers to programmatically upload, transform, and deliver assets, while also offering a dashboard for manual operations. The platform supports a wide range of image formats (AVIF, WebP, JPEG, PNG, SVG) and video streaming protocols (HLS, DASH), with automatic adaptive bitrate transcoding. Users can apply presets for responsive resizing and compression, which travel with assets to ensure consistent output. Beyond basic transforms, Convertly includes AI-powered features such as background removal, image restoration, palette extraction, and auto-tagging to enhance media assets. Its workflow automation engine lets teams chain together multiple steps—conversion, storage, delivery, and webhook notifications—into reusable pipelines. This reduces manual cleanup and ensures that processed media is automatically published or pushed to other systems. Every uploaded file is stored in a structured asset library with folder organization, metadata, and stable delivery URLs that persist even when files are renamed or moved. The platform's edge delivery uses a global CDN with cache-friendly URLs and signed delivery for secure access. Convertly is designed to scale from small teams experimenting in the browser to production-grade pipelines executed through the API, making it suitable for both prototyping and high-traffic applications.
