Show HN: FFmpeg API Cloud – Run FFmpeg over HTTP

[gregzeng95]

Hi HN — I built FFmpeg API Cloud, a simple API for running FFmpeg and FFprobe jobs over HTTP.

It lets you use FFmpeg in your app without setting up uploads, queues, workers, storage, webhooks, or output delivery yourself.

You can upload a file or pass a public URL, submit a job with `ffmpegArgs`, then poll for completion or receive a webhook and fetch the outputs.

There’s no subscription, and new users get free credits to try it.

Would love feedback on the API design, developer experience, and pricing model.

What's the point? How is it better than using ffmpeg directly on your server?
