Content & storage

When you upload media to Forte, it becomes Content. Content Hosting prepares your raw files for global distribution: it transcodes videos, formats images, and serves everything from a content delivery network (CDN).

How it works

Forte processes each file based on its type. It transcodes videos into formats and resolutions for adaptive streaming. It also converts images to formats such as WebP and AVIF at different sizes. Forte then distributes the processed files through a global CDN.

Built-in tools

Forte includes tools for hosting and distributing content:

• Automatic transcoding and formatting: Upload a file once. Forte creates video and image variants for different clients and devices.
• Global CDN with no egress fees: Forte distributes your content through a global CDN without charging egress fees.
• Configurable moderation: Forte can detect and flag inappropriate content based on your settings.

Object storage

Object storage lets your services store and serve files such as uploads, exports, and backups. For early access, contact support@forteplatforms.com.
