Bytescale Reviews & Product Details

We use Bytescale to host and optimize images for all of the dynamically generated content on our site. All images go through Bytescale, so I work daily inside with their Image Processing API and URL-based transformations. We upload assets using their APIs which we've integrated directly into our site; we had been using their plug-and-play widget, which is great for quickly implementing uploads in your app, but have since written our own upload workflow using their headless SDK. Even though we've written our own UI, having an SDK you can just "throw a BLOB at" and have it uploaded and transformable is still a massive time saving. The most valuable features for us are transforming images by URL parameters. There's a lot of options so I reached out to their support for the best combination to use for our use case, and they provided a set of parameters that are file-size focused (you can also tune for processing-time focused, among other things, so it's worth getting these right). Image processing reliability and service uptime have been great; we used another vendor for a while and occaisonally there would be images that would crash their image processing pipelines (we'd get an error e.g. due to input images being too large) but haven't had this since moving to Bytescale. We even tested a few known problematic images, and Bytescale handled them fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial setup requires a developer; there's a big focus on simplicity within their site, but you still need to know how to code. It's a developer-focused product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Uploads, transformations, delivery, and security are all rock-solid, fast, and clearly built by people who have taken time to think about developer workflows. Service performance, reliability, and uptime have been great; there have been no service outages and we're consistently getting fast asset load times (TTFBs on media assets in the single digits and low double digits, which is about as fast as you can get).

There’s a lot of power and flexibility, which can feel overwhelming at first—having a UI or wizard to help build transformation URLs would make onboarding even smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially we were pitched this amazing alternative to competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One-man show by the owner Lawrence. He convinced us to leave Filestack for better terms (net 60) but then proceeded to change those terms to Net 14. Antiquated billing system means it is impossible to just pay an invoice, and as a result we deal with OUTAGES! So mind blowing, if we just went straight to AWS we would have 180days billing at next to $0.

Not worth it. Lack of empathy for his actual customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bytescale has been incredibly responsive to my needs and offers a great product. Before switching from another service and saving over 60% with Bytescale, we considered building our own solution. Bytescale was everything we were looking for and at an affordable price. On two occassions, I've reached out to Bytescale and proposed a change in their service. Both times, they exceeded my expectations and delivered value to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A couple of developers mentioned to me that the documentation for using JWT tokens in particular could be improved, but overall the API and examples were well written. It would also be nice to have access to the invoices when logged into the site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're using Bytescale to upload, transform and serve images on our watch marketplace. Our users need a way to upload and adjust images easily and quickly, so we needed a flexible and reliable solution for image processing and uploading.

After a few months of using Filestack, we switched to Bytescale, and couldn't be happier! It's such a relief in so many ways:

• Very flexible pricing model based on used CPU hours instead of a limited number of transformations. It helps us reduce our costs, as we can control (and reduce) image processing times via Bytescale's extensive image processing API.

• Support response times are incredibly fast. You can also easily (live) chat with them. Want to schedule a call? No problem at all.

• No hidden costs. Files are perma-cached, so transformations only run once. This makes it a much cheaper solution compared to the competition.

• Customizable file uploader widget. It is 100% white labelled (i.e. has no Bytescale branding).

• What really stood out for us, however, was their willingness to build some additional functionality that we needed. We were impressed by how quickly they were able to build this functionality and integrate it into their platform. It was up and running within just a few days, which really exceeded our expectations.

Nothing found yet, but if I should name something: Bytescale is a younger company and therefore there could be features or options not be available (yet). Luckily they are listening really well to feedback and suggestions. They even developed a feature we really needed within four days (including weekend days).

It's reasonable to use and organize into your endeavor, and the way that it stores your records/pictures in an ongoing informational index is in like manner truly supportive and important. Furthermore, the assist with gathering helped me with every single issue I encountered and, shockingly, conveyed new transformations.

We can login into the platform easily within 3 seconds of time that makes better connectivity within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Upload.io is a more youthful organization and subsequently there could be elements or choices not be accessible.Fortunately they are listening all around well to input and ideas. They even fostered an element we truly required in the span of four days.There are no worries in the platform till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bytescale has built a robust platform that makes it easy to "bolt on" file uploading services to your app. They have excellent documentation, are very responsive to support inquiries and a real joy to work with. We accomplished things in minutes using their platform that took days of frustration and waiting with other file uploading services. Would highly recommend them over any other other services out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zero complaints this far. Been great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Upload.io is that it can be integrated into the project very easily and almost seamlessly. It has made uploading, storing and transforming the files/images to the database a breeze. The support team has been amazing and responsive, so kudos to them too.Upload.io is easily integrable without much hassle and has a great documentation which made the process of understanding its implementation even smoother.The fact that it is serverless and is very cost effective is a cherry on top.

There is nothing that I dislike about Upload.io as of now. It servers it purpose and it serves it really well. I do not have any complaints or issues that I can list here. The experience has been great so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's clear to utilize and coordinate into your undertaking, and the way that it stores your records/pictures in a current data set is likewise really helpful and valuable. Additionally, the help group assisted me with each and every issue I experienced and, surprisingly, delivered new adaptations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
