June 2026 FFMPEG API Team

Creating engaging videos for social media can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to merging images and audio efficiently. FFMPEGAPI.net offers a powerful and user-friendly hosted REST API that simplifies this process, allowing developers to create stunning videos without managing their own server infrastructure. This guide walks you through the 'Image and Audio Merge' feature, demonstrating how it can enhance your video production workflow.

Understanding the Image and Audio Merge Feature

FFMPEGAPI.net provides an endpoint specifically designed to merge images and audio into a seamless MP4 video. This feature is ideal for developers looking to automate video creation for social media, ensuring that each image corresponds perfectly to the audio it accompanies.

The API allows you to send a series of image and audio URLs, creating a video where each image is displayed for the duration of its corresponding audio clip.

  • Supports multiple image/audio pairs.
  • Offers optional image transitions and a slow zoom effect.
  • Easy integration with existing developer workflows.

Using the Image and Audio Merge API

To use the image and audio merge functionality, developers can make a POST request to the '/api/merge_image_audio' endpoint. The request can include a variety of parameters such as image URLs, audio URLs, transition effects, and output dimensions.

Here’s a breakdown of the primary parameters you can use:

  • image_urls: Array of image URLs for multi-pair videos.
  • audio_urls: Corresponding audio URLs controlling image display duration.
  • transition_effect: Optional effects for transitioning between images.
  • zoom_effect: Enables a slow zoom on images while audio plays.
import requests

url = 'https://www.ffmpegapi.net/api/merge_image_audio'
data = {
    'image_urls': [
        'https://example.com/intro.jpg',
        'https://example.com/chapter-1.jpg'
    ],
    'audio_urls': [
        'https://example.com/intro.mp3',
        'https://example.com/chapter-1.mp3'
    ],
    'transition_effect': 'fade',
    'transition_duration': 0.75,
    'dimensions': '1280x720',
    'zoom_effect': True,
    'async': False
}

response = requests.post(url, json=data)
