Introducing Trelae: The All-in-One Files API for Developers

Aug 15, 2025

Trelae is an all-in-one files API for developers. Upload, store, transform, and deliver files worldwide through a simple, unified API.

Managing file uploads, storage, and transformations has always been a pain point for developers. From setting up S3 buckets to configuring CDNs and writing custom code for image or video operations, the process is fragmented and time-consuming.

That’s why we built Trelae — an all-in-one files API that takes away the complexity. With Trelae, you can upload, store, transform, and deliver files worldwide, all through a single unified API.


Why Trelae?

Most teams start with AWS S3 or similar storage providers, only to realize they still need to:

  • Set up a CDN for fast global delivery
  • Write extra code to crop, scale, or optimize images
  • Use external services to trim videos or compress PDFs
  • Manage permissions, security, and file lifecycle policies

Trelae brings all of this together in one platform. No more juggling multiple tools or stitching together APIs.

What Trelae Offers

  • File Upload & Storage
    Upload files easily through our API or SDK. Files are stored securely and replicated across regions for reliability.
  • Global CDN Delivery
    Every file you upload is instantly accessible through Trelae’s built-in CDN for blazing-fast performance worldwide.
  • On-the-Fly Transformations
    Work with your files directly through the API: crop or scale images, trim or clip videos, compress PDFs and more.
  • Unified API & SDKs
    A single API handles it all. Start with our JavaScript SDK (with more languages coming soon) and enjoy a developer-first experience that makes file operations intuitive.
