Media processing for developers and agents.

Simple commands. Structured output. Local or cloud.

Input

ittybit video \
  -i https://example.com/video.mp4 \
  --width 1280 \
  --format mp4 \
  --cloud

const task = {
  input: "https://example.com/video.mp4",
  kind: "video",
  options: {
    width: 1280,
    format: "mp4",
  },
};

const res = await fetch("https://api.ittybit.com/tasks", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.ITTYBIT_API_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(task),
});
const data = await res.json();

import requests

task = {
    "input": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
    "kind": "video",
    "options": {
        "width": 1280,
        "format": "mp4",
    },
}

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.ittybit.com/tasks",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"},
    json=task,
)
data = res.json()

TASK='{
  "input": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
  "kind": "video",
  "options": {
    "width": 1280,
    "format": "mp4"
  }
}'

curl -X POST https://api.ittybit.com/tasks \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ITTYBIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "$TASK"

Output

{
  "id": "task_abc123",
  "object": "task",
  "kind": "video",
  "status": "succeeded",
  "input": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
  "output": "https://store.ittybit.net/org_123/output.mp4",
  "steps": [
    { "kind": "probe", "status": "succeeded" },
    { "kind": "ingest", "status": "succeeded" },
    { "kind": "video", "status": "succeeded" },
    { "kind": "upload", "status": "succeeded" }
  ]
}

5 hours to 8 minutes.

We split video at keyframe boundaries and encode chunks in parallel. Locally, that uses your CPU cores. On our cloud, it uses a fleet of workers.

	FFmpeg (8-core)	MediaConvert	Ittybit
44min 4K → AV1	5h 16m	—	7m 56s
22min 4K → H264	—	14m 25s	48s

Same output. Fraction of the time. If a chunk fails, it retries that chunk — not the whole file.

Four task kinds. Simple options. Structured data.

No filter graphs. No YAML configs. No parsing stderr.

Video

Transcode, resize, trim

Audio

Extract, convert, trim

Image

Resize, convert, extract frames

Adaptive

HLS adaptive bitrate streams

ittybit video \
  -i input.mp4 \
  --width 1280 \
  --quality medium

ittybit audio \
  -i podcast.wav \
  --format mp3

ittybit image \
  -i video.mp4 \
  --start 5 \
  --format webp

ittybit adaptive \
  -i input.mp4 \
  -o stream.m3u8

Every task returns typed JSON — status, URL, dimensions, duration, file size.

brew install ittybit/tap/ittybit
ittybit video \
  -i input.mp4 \
  --width 1280
