Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an “upload?”

Any Filestack generated link counts as an upload. There are multiple ways in which you can create Filestack links. One way is through our file picker, in which your users can upload files directly from cloud integrations, including Facebook, Google Drive, Dropbox and more. Links can also be generated using the Javascript API via our store methods or the REST API by sending a POST to the /store endpoint. You can upload images, videos, documents, and any other file of any format, in any size.

What counts as a “transformation?”

A transformation is anything that is done to alter a file, either with our convert method or through our REST API. The first time you create a conversion with the REST API it creates a cached version of the conversion which remains active for 30 days. During that time, you can access that file as many times as you want using the same url, and it will only be counted as one conversion.

For images, we offer cropping, resizing, rotating, facial detection, borders & effects, filters, collages, and URL screenshots, and more. You can chain transformations to make your images even more customized.
For audio and videos files, we offer transcoding from any format to virtually any other format. To track/bill usage of this feature, we use the following ratios to convert the length and quality of video/audio transcoding requests from your account to conversions:
- standard def (SD) transcoding: 2 transformations per second
- high def (HD) transcoding: 3 transformations per second
- ultra high def (UHD) transcoding: 6 transformations per second
- audio transcoding: 3 transformations per second
For documents, we offer conversions from any format to virtually any other format.

What counts as “bandwidth?”

Filestack charges for viewing bandwidth, so you are only charged for bandwidth as files are viewed or downloaded, not when the files are uploaded. For example, if your plan allows 1GB of bandwidth, and you upload a 500MB file and then that file is downloaded once, then you would have used up half of your bandwidth for that plan.

Where can I store my files?

If you are using any of Filestack’s paid plans, you can connect your account to your own Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, and Dropbox for personal, long term storage.

What happens if I go over my resources?

For each plan, once you surpass the quota allocated in your tier, you can either upgrade to the next plan, or pay usage fees at the rates of $0.004 per upload, $0.00125 per file conversion, and $0.15 per GB outbound bandwidth. Please note, all pricing and allotments in each plan are monthly.

Do I get workflows as part of my free account?

Yes, workflows comes standard as part of our Free Plan. It includes 1 workflow with 5 standard transformation tasks and 100 executions.
