    Effortless Image Management, Minor UI Challenges

    Reviewed on Dec 01, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    I really appreciate how Cloudinary allows me to store images on the cloud with ease and retrieve them without needing to compress or edit them beforehand. The ability to store images using their API and then request them simply by calling the URL with appropriate parameters is incredibly convenient. Cloudinary handles transformations and other tasks in the background, which saves me a lot of time and effort. Furthermore, setting up Cloudinary was quite straightforward, and its integration through API calls is greatly simplified, especially with the assistance of AI. Overall, I enjoy the service a lot because it performs exceptionally well, even though I have mentioned some minor concerns.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    I find the UI of Cloudinary to be somewhat complicated and feel that it could be more modern and user-friendly. Additionally, I feel that the pricing can become quite high once a certain threshold is reached.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    I use Cloudinary to store images easily on the cloud, retrieve them with URL transformations, and avoid pre-editing, which simplifies image management for my open source project.

    Effortless Asset Management for Large Teams

    Reviewed on Nov 26, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Easy way for our large company to use/look through all creative assets while having the correct URL needed to be used.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Sometimes when scrolling through large amounts of assets, it becomes laggy. I wish there were an easier way to locate images or if there was some way to search details of an images and it were able to find it.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Cloudinary helps take some time off of our creative teams' hands and creates a bridge with the marketing team. It also helps us have all assets in one place that have the correct URL to use on the site.
