The KVS Conversion Cloud allows you to convert your videos, generate video trailers, and receive screenshots right in the KVS Cloud.

In addition, the cloud can download source files on its own and upload the finished results directly to your destination storage servers. This makes task processing faster, reduces load and traffic on the main server, and removes delays related to file transfers.

The main advantages are as follows:

  1. Available on demand — you pay only for the actual amount of work done and do not pay for idle time;
  2. Lower costs compared to traditional servers;
  3. Ability to quickly process large volumes of data;
  4. Cost control through daily limits;
  5. Fast and affordable H.265 (HEVC) and AV1 transcoding, which allows you to save up to 45% on storage and traffic for high-resolution formats;
  6. Fully integrated into all KVS packages.

Final formula: Price = Base(output) × FPS multiplier × Codec multiplier (if HEVC) × Source multiplier × Watermark multiplier + Screenshots cost + Traffic cost.
But not less than the minimum task price
