Description

Xora is a cloud FFmpeg API for developers, automation workflows, and AI agents. Send familiar FFmpeg arguments or a ready-made recipe to one REST endpoint, track deterministic job states, and collect the finished media from a signed URL or your own storage bucket.

Key Features
- Raw FFmpeg commands: Run ordinary FFmpeg arguments through a JSON API without maintaining binaries, containers, queues, or transcoding servers.
- Recipes and presets: Use ready-made workflows for compression, thumbnails, trimming, concatenation, audio extraction, and web-ready video, or save reusable configurations.
- Agent-ready interfaces: Use REST, OpenAPI, llms.txt, or a remote MCP server with structured inputs, outputs, errors, and job states.
- Reliable asynchronous jobs: Poll progress or receive webhooks across queued, transcoding, completed, failed, rejected, and cancelled states. Idempotency keys make retries safe.
- Flexible storage: Read inputs from HTTPS URLs and deliver outputs as signed downloads or directly to a Cloudflare R2 bucket.
- Scalable processing: Run long or high-volume media jobs in isolated workers with parallel processing and no serverless timeout management.

Benefits
- Ship faster: Add production media processing without building and operating a dedicated FFmpeg infrastructure stack.
- Keep full FFmpeg control: Use the flags, codecs, filter graphs, and multi-input commands your application already needs without an abstraction ceiling.
- Make automation dependable: Structured JSON states, parseable errors, webhooks, and idempotent retries let software and agents respond predictably.
- Avoid infrastructure surprises: Xora handles compute, workers, disk, concurrency, and scaling while plans use simple credit limits and hard spending caps.
- Start without commitment: The free plan includes 25 monthly credits and needs no credit card.
