Welcome to FileSpin

FileSpin is an AI-powered Digital Asset Management platform that lets you store, process, transform, and deliver images, videos, and documents at scale.

Whether you're building a media-rich application, automating content workflows, or integrating asset management into your product, these docs will get you there fast.

Three paths to automate FileSpin

Three paths to integrate​

FileSpin offers three automation paths so every team can move at its own speed:

  • AI Agents via the MCP Server — ad-hoc, complex workflows through natural language. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and let agents search, transform, and share assets on your behalf.
  • Workflow Engines — Make, Zapier, n8n — repeatable, visual pipelines that operations teams build without engineering. Native FileSpin modules with real-time triggers chain cleanly with commerce, CMS, PIM, CRM, and social apps.
  • REST APIs + Webhooks — custom, high-throughput integrations for engineering teams who need the full product surface with JWT, API key, or OAuth2 auth.

All three share the same backend, permissions model, and audit trail.

What you can do with FileSpin​

Upload & Manage Assets​

Ingest files via direct upload, URI, or our drop-in File Picker Widget — then organize them with custom metadata schemas, collections, and powerful full-text search.

Transform Images On-the-fly​

Resize, crop, watermark, rotate, change format, adjust quality, and apply effects — all through URL parameters with instant CDN delivery. No pre-processing needed.

Transcode & Stream Video​

Automatically transcode videos into multiple resolutions, generate HLS adaptive streams, create storyboards, and clip segments — ready to embed anywhere.

AI-Powered Addons​

Tap into built-in AI capabilities: auto-tagging, face recognition & search, background removal, and more — all triggered via a single API call.

Webhooks & Integrations​

Get notified in real-time when assets are uploaded, processed, or updated with webhook callbacks. Export data and integrate with your existing stack.

Automate with AI Agents​

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client to FileSpin via the MCP Server — drive asset search, transformation, and sharing through natural language. See the AI Agent Integration guide for patterns and prompt examples.

Build Visual Workflows​

Automate repeatable pipelines with native FileSpin modules for Make, Zapier, and n8n — real-time triggers on asset events and drag-and-drop actions, no code required. See the Workflow Engines guide for recipes.

Flexible Authentication​

Choose between JWT tokens or API keys — with role-based access control, user groups, and fine-grained permissions to match your security model.

Usage Analytics​

Track API calls, CDN bandwidth, storage consumption, and transcode usage with the Usage Stats API to stay on top of your account.

Embeddable Widgets​

Drop the File Picker or Web Connector widget into any web app — fully customizable, with i18n support and event hooks for seamless integration.
