"hands down the best image software for developers bar none"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

The free tier has about 5 years worth of my photos and shows no signs of reaching the cost plans. I use it so often that I actually developed an npm package that will programmatically watch my Screenshots directory, then copy the markdown-formatted image to my clipboard that I use in my static site generated personal blog. It's extremely easy to use, and has integrations for literally any framework out there. The documentation is amazing as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Literally not a single thing. Well, actually, the UI post logging in doesn't have a lot of use, and I think most would prefer to be redirected to their media library, rather than what it currently does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Love how you've made Cloudinary a seamless part of your workflow—and even built your own tool around it! That kind of developer creativity is exactly what we hope to empower. Great call on the UI landing experience—we hear you. Really appreciate you sharing how it's saving time across personal and client projects!

"Cloudinary makes my digital asset management easier"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

What I like best about Cloudinary is how easy it makes media management. I can upload, transform, optimize, and deliver images and videos all through one platform, with just a URL. The automatic format and quality optimization is a huge win for performance, and the transformation API is incredibly powerful for dynamic content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Sometimes the pricing can get a little tricky, especially when you scale up or have a lot of transformations happening behind the scenes. Also, the UI could be a bit more intuitive when navigating between assets, transformations, and settings. But overall, the functionality still outweighs the drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

We're glad to hear Cloudinary is making media management easier and more efficient for you! Simplifying the way developers work with images and videos is exactly what we aim for. We appreciate your feedback on pricing and UI—transparency and usability are areas we're actively working to improve. Thanks for sharing your experience!

You can have it setup quickly and or advanced. based on your preferences Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Delivering images to certain systems is a bit complicated and also some restrictions based on your plan are too restrictive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thanks for the kind words! We're glad Cloudinary is powering your media delivery with speed and flexibility right out of the box. We appreciate the feedback on system integrations and plan limits, always working to make both more adaptable to your needs.

"Seamless Image Integration with Cloudinary Connector"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

I love that the images connect seamlessly to our design files using the Cloudinary Connector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

We're glad to hear that you love the seamless image integration with our Cloudinary Connector!

"A tool whose effectiveness makes it easy to forget"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

Optimisation and automatic generation of images adapted to each device. A real plus for easily optimising the user experience and the KPIs associated with CoreWeb Vitals. The solution is easy to integrate thanks to the wide range of frameworks supported. It's a tool that knows how to make itself invisible while providing real added value. It's becoming an essential part of our day-to-day business. The support team is very responsive, and I've used it to deal with invoicing issues and have always received a fast, efficient response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

Monitoring of consumption and usage could be improved. The indicators are fairly poor. It would also be good to be able to filter out unhelpful bots that consume credits. Caching is very good, sometimes too good. It's quite difficult to make an image cache expire. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Love how seamlessly Cloudinary has become part of your daily workflow—and that it's delivering real value on both performance and Core Web Vitals. Your feedback on usage monitoring and cache control is spot on, and we're actively working to make those areas more transparent and flexible. Thanks for the detailed insight!

"An intuitive placeholder for storing the assets"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

The ability to update image with handy AI tools on edit.

The ease of finding the assets easily through search Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

For an asset within a folder, I wanted to know if I uploaded the image against an older image without having to go to Open > Summary navigation. Maybe grouping of the image within the folder will help such case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

It's great to hear that Cloudinary is providing a beneficial storage system for your images and videos. We appreciate your support!

"Cloudinary facilitating image management and improvements in photo quality"
What do you like best about Cloudinary?

What I like and appreciate most about Cloudinary is the ability to resize images, work on their quality, especially when dealing with the demand for product promotion images. Often we receive images with low proportion and dimension, and Cloudinary assists in editing these images, making them much more applicable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

I believe that the price of the premium plan is a hindrance, it requires an investment, as the free plan is limited. The understanding of the tool as well, I believe that clearer and more interactive documents and manuals help in understanding how to use the tool at its best performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Great to hear Cloudinary is helping you enhance and standardize product images—that’s exactly the kind of flexibility we aim to provide. We appreciate your feedback on pricing and documentation—clearer guidance and more accessible learning resources are definitely a priority as we grow. Thanks for sharing your experience!

What do you like best about Cloudinary?

It's a really easy interface where everything you want to find is accessible easily. It's a really excellent, streamlined platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cloudinary?

I was unable to easily link .pdf's as a download. It's just for hosting and can't be used as an alternative to dropbox or g-drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Eugene Musebe of Cloudinary

Thank you for your feedback. We understand the importance of easily linking .pdf's and will take this into consideration for future improvements.
