Review Source SF Syed F. Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's most remarkable features is its ability to help you keep collaborations, edits, and adjustments in mind." February 21, 2025 5.0 Cloudinary changed the way I handle the media assets. There, I used it to tweak images used in a marketing campaign, and the CDN guaranteed rapid delivery to anyone on any device. It has now become an essential tool to keep your website interesting and in good shape. Pros My favorite thing is Image and Video Optimization. For example, I used it to resize and compress images for my site that resulted in a 30% improvement in page load times. The AI-assisted features (automatic cropping, background removal, etc.) are very helpful. Cons Pricing may catch up businesses with big media libraries, and there is a steep learning curve for advanced features such as transformations and API integrations. Review Source EO Eunice O. Software Builder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Go-To Media Management " May 5, 2025 5.0 Overall, It’s a reliable tool that saves time and improves performance. Once you get the hang of it, Cloudinary becomes an essential part of any content workflow. Pros Cloudinary makes media management super easy. I like how it handles image and video optimization automatically, and the transformation features are powerful yet simple to use. Cons Live stream media management is still yet to get there, also, the pricing can scale up quickly if you're handling lot of assets. Review Source WM Will M.

Pros Easy to register my account and start using it as my secondary cloud repository to store promotion campaign, legal document and least agreement. Cons Small storage limit for basic account. I need to upgrade the storage size as my needs grow and it is not cheap. Review Source KC Kasandra C. CEO Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Cloudinary or No?" April 25, 2025 5.0 While using the Free version, I was able to see plenty of options that I could utilize for our companies advertising. The only concern would be training others how to use it for our marketing. Pros The opportunity to work with the program for Free while deciding if it is right for your company or not. Cons I wasn't able to figure out how to upload my own media and photos, as well as my logo. Alternatives considered [Bynder](https://www.capterra.com/p/122257/Bynder/) Reason for choosing Cloudinary Trying one free trial at a time. It is difficult trying out to many at a time.

It’s not the best, but it’s not the worst and I would like to find a better cloud software. Pros Cloud Ineri is very good for keeping me up-to-date on where I need to be and keeping all my stuff saved. Cons I would say what I at least like about this software is that it glitches a lot and sometimes I worry that I’m gonna lose my data. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing Cloudinary We liked the sales pitch better from clounidary and they’ve been great to deal with.

It has streamlined the management and delivery of media assets tremendously. Pros The image and video management made easy with features like automatic optimization, transformations, and CDN delivery. It’s an essential tool for operating on media in scale.

Web Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simply the best media optimizer for websites" March 18, 2021 5.0 Well as a WordPress developer, it was always a challenge for me to maintain speed and performance of my client's websites. I tried several service, both paid and free (not mentioning the names here) and luckily one day I found Cloudinary while search for some image optimization service for one of my new client. I tried cloudinary and found that Cloudniary is more than an image optimization service, it serves images as CDN and has lot more feature that helped me offload my image data that made the website speed blazing fast. I found it pretty easy to setup, just signed up on Cloudinary, installed the plugin in WordPress and it did rest of the hard work it self. I've been contacted Cloudinary support team several times and everytime I found them really professional and always resolved any issue that I faced. Now it's my regular practice that I refer Cloudinary to all my new clients and must integrate Cloudniary on their websites. Best of all, Cloudinary's free plan is more than enough for new websites, so now I can proudly say that I've got dozens of happy clients:) Pros Well it's a bit difficult question because this service has a several services that makes it stand out from the rest of similar services. But the thing that I like about Cloudinary most is their "Transformations" features. It has made my life easier as it resize, auto change image quality (as per my needs) and auto change formats from several extensions like png, jpeg or even in WebP formats that helps me to save tons of bandwidth. The other best thing is their really cooperative and nice technical support. They provide industry's best technical support even if you're using their free service. Cons Honestly speaking, this service is already providing more than everything that you need for your website image optimization and image delivery. So as far as I'm concerned, I'm totally satisfied with Cloudinary and I really don't like anything least about it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very easy to implement, too costly for what it is and unfortunately a terrible support." May 10, 2018 3.0 Pros Very easy and quick to implement. Great technical solutions which covers all kind of image delivery aspects. Simple but effective user interface. A lot of online resources and best practice cases. Cons I am using their service with two different projects for a couple of years now. To be fair I have to fully differentiate between the use cases and the expectations one might have as a user. - We have implemented Cloudinary in an application with millions of images and I must say the value for money is not great compared to some of their competitors, especially if you do not use all their features. Though that is something one knows in advance and can very well factor in. But what is not acceptable to us is the fact that e-mails go unanswered for a couple of days and the support on the business side is very weak. Be prepared paying thousands of dollars without any support. - For one project we are still on the free plan and their is actually nothing to complain about as it technically works perfect and it is superbe value for money. To my point Cloudinary is great for very small and small projects but if your intention is to integrate Cloudinary in a business solution which might need support once a year think again. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly effective for buidling image heavy applications" October 7, 2021 5.0 Cloudinary helps in our developers focussing on our core problems by taking care of the image manipulation work which saved in a lot of time & head-ache for the team. Pros 1) The software completely outsourcing the process of image manipulation work for developers to make the applications work seamlessly across multiple touch-points. 2) Makes it easy to manage the digital assets of a company/application for non-developers that developers can easily use in the development process. Cons 1) The software right now misses key features to manage audio assets in its platform to help voice experience designers work with speech/audio data. 2) The software still doesn't provide an app for sharing image assets easily like how cloudApp/jumpshare does. Reason for choosing Cloudinary Cloudinary was the first product we used based on the existing reviews in the market. Review Source Christian K. Programmer Analyst Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Cloud Storage Provider" June 25, 2022 5.0 I primarily use Cloudinary for cloud storage for web applications I build and deploy on Heroku. Since initially using it, I’ve begun storing many types of files within it. Pros Cloudinary’s powerful API allows any developer to easily implement file storage for any kind of internet-connected app quickly. It’s API takes it a step further and allows for transformations when retrieving photo type files. Cons The onboarding process could be improved. At first, it wasn’t easy to find the information needed to connect to the API. Once you know where to find it, things are much easier. Switched from [Filestack](https://www.capterra.com/p/152728/Filestack/)[Amazon S3](https://www.capterra.com/p/174285/Amazon-S3/) Pricing tiers-some projects don’t use much space and doesn’t make sense to pay for it.

Pros Easily able to transform images and generate various versions of it for content creation. A decent form is available for support questions, but turnaround time can be long. Cons Cloudinary's documentation is loaded with content, but not well organized and can be difficult to find what you are looking for. It's similar to the disorganization like AWS documentation. The search tool is not easy to use and does not find the relevant information you are searching for. There is no discord server available where one could get instant feedback or help with issues. Not easy to use with modern SSR platforms like Nuxt/NextJS. Alternatives considered [ImageKit.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/171698/ImageKit-io/) Reason for choosing Cloudinary I ended up going with Imagekit.io because the imagekit docs were much cleaner and better to use, as well as the user interface. The product features and performance are about the same with Imagekit.io and cheaper, too! Review Source PP Prem P. Automation Freelancer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best media resizing, Transformation, Storage and sharing platform" August 4, 2022 5.0 The best cloud storage and management with immense capabilities with easy in URL sharing and transformation features with easy to understand documentation, Super fast customer responses Pros Easy upload and in URL transformation feature Cons Less in built fonts, Template creation is not available Alternatives considered [Icecream Image Resizer](https://www.capterra.com/p/197497/Icecream-Image-Reszier/)[FileCloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/166916/FileCloud/) Reason for choosing Cloudinary For my use case cloudinary plan with 25000 free transformations per month is best Review Source Similar Products Featured
