Cloudinary is an excellent service for image and video runtime processing, helping you distribute content via a CDN. Its Digital Asset Management (DAM) system has an intuitive interface that enables users with varying levels of technical proficiency to manage assets and share them with stakeholders. Cloudinary has a strong technical foundation, and it’s clearly built by developers for developers. It offers many features to process assets on demand as they’re consumed on your site, with a reliable CDN on top to distribute your content globally—optimized and transformed exactly as you want and need. Cloudinary is also always improving and listening to customer needs. Very often, you even have the chance to speak directly with Product Owners and other responsible team members to suggest changes and have an open exchange about features and usability. Integration with Contentful is easy and straightforward and also the usage of the different widgets for upload or video play are easy to integrate and full of built-in functionality.

You only need to care about the content. With the upcoming AI features Cloudinary is building, there will be the possibility to easily scale without the burden of manual human intervention. Assets moderation or enhancing content will become easy and straightforward, thanks also to the usage of agents that can support the build and engineering of such capabilities Last but not least, Cloudinary provides excellent support.

What I like most about Cloudinary is how it removes a lot of the messy work around images and videos without feeling heavy. Upload once, and resizing, compression, and format changes just happen through simple URLs, which feels surprisingly flexible. It also handles edge cases well, like optimizing for slow networks or different devices.

I like using Cloudinary for hosting images on our website. It makes it easy to have images hosted in a secure place. I value the ability to link images on our platform.
