Stop messing with FFmpeg and S3 buckets
Add video, images, and audio to your app in minutes using ittybit's powerful components, SDKs, and media APIs
import {Ittybit} from "@ittybit/sdk";
const ittybit = new Ittybit(ENV.ITTYBIT_SECRET_KEY);
export default async function uploadMedia(file) {
const media = await ittybit.upload({ file });
console.log({ media });
return media;
}
Our PE lesson videos are used by 80,000 kids around the globe. Ittybit helps us serve HD video without buffering on slower connections, and that means kids can train wherever they live.

Video is essential for any new social app, but it can cost a fortune to do it all in-house. Ittybit enabled us to add video quickly, without sacrificing quality or racking up extortionate bills … plus our devs love it! 🙌🏽
