Filestack

Upload widget + transform API

Free tier + paidImages, video & filesfilestack.com

What it is

Upload, transformation and delivery service centered on a hosted file picker that imports from local disk, Facebook, Google Drive, Dropbox and device cameras. Adds a URL-based transformation API for cropping, filters and format conversion, plus OCR, virus scanning and content moderation.

Why it earns a slot

The fastest way to ship a polished multi-source upload experience without building it. The picker handles OAuth to a dozen cloud sources out of the box, with resilient ingestion for flaky connections.

Know before you commit

Every limit is metered separately — uploads, transformations, bandwidth and storage each carry their own cap and overage rate, so a single dimension can force a plan upgrade. The 1 GB free tier is a demo, not a launch tier.
