When you upload media to Forte, it becomes Content. Forte's Content Hosting takes your raw files and prepares them for global distribution — transcoding videos, formatting images, and serving everything from a fast, reliable CDN. You focus on building your application, and we handle the complexity of delivering media at scale.
How Content Hosting Works
When you upload a file, Forte automatically processes it based on its type. Videos are transcoded into multiple formats and resolutions for adaptive streaming. Images are formatted into multiple sizes and modern formats like WebP and AVIF. The processed content is distributed to a global CDN, so your users get fast load times regardless of where they are.
Built-in Tools
Forte provides tools that make hosting and distributing content easy:
- Automatic transcoding and formatting: Forte automatically transcodes videos and formats images into multiple sizes and formats, optimized for every client and device. You upload once, and we handle the rest.
- Global CDN with no egress fees: Your content is distributed across a global CDN. Unlike AWS CloudFront or S3, you pay zero egress fees regardless of traffic volume.
- Configurable moderation: Forte provides built-in content moderation to detect and flag inappropriate content, keeping your platform safe with minimal configuration.
