Settings
The Settings page has three tabs: Profile, API Keys, and Billing.
Profile
Shows your account information:
- Email — the address you signed up with.
- Display name — editable.
- Tier — "Free" or "Pro".
- Preserve metadata — toggle to keep EXIF/ID3/author fields in outputs. Pro only. Free users see a "Forge Pro only" tooltip.
Changes save automatically.
API Keys
Pro only
API keys are a Forge Pro feature. Upgrade to create keys.
Creating a key
- Click New key.
- Enter a name (e.g. "Zapier", "build-script") and select scopes.
- Click Create.
- The raw key (
ff_live_…) is shown once — copy it immediately. After closing the dialog, the key is stored as a SHA-256 hash and cannot be recovered.
Scopes
| Scope | Allows |
|---|---|
convert:write | Create conversions |
files:read | List and download files |
files:write | Upload and finalize files |
files:delete | Delete files |
By default, new keys get convert:write and files:read.
Rotating a key
Click Rotate on any key row. This:
- Revokes the existing key (immediate — any request using it will get 401).
- Creates a new key with the same name and scopes.
- Shows the new raw key once.
Revoking a key
Click Revoke and confirm. The key stops working immediately. This is idempotent — revoking an already-revoked key still returns 204.
Key details
Each key row shows:
- Name — your label for the key.
- Prefix — first 12 characters (e.g.
ff_live_a1b2c3). This is the only part visible after creation. - Scopes — which permissions the key has.
- Last used — timestamp and IP of the most recent request.
- Usage count — total conversions made with this key.
- Status — Active or Revoked.
Endpoints
The page also lists the public API endpoints you can call with a key:
GET /v1/formats
POST /v1/files/presign-upload
POST /v1/files/{id}/finalize
POST /v1/conversions
GET /v1/conversions/{id}
GET /v1/conversions/{id}/outputFor full usage examples, see API → Examples.
Billing
Billing is not available during the v1.0.0 beta. The page shows a note pointing to the Pricing page and the email contact for manual Pro upgrades.
Self-serve Stripe checkout arrives in V2.
