Great storage without taking up space on computer!
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many features that help with mass storage and sharing of images. I love how my company can all have access to needed photos while provide URLs with limited access to people outside our company.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are tons of cool features offered, but it can be challenging to navigate or understand how they all work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a mass amount of photos that need to be stored on our CRM and shared with clients and being able to provide a URL in these areas helps eliminate storage and easy to share.
Using Cloudinary to power our e-commerce site
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudinary allows us to support image creation for our catalog of many thousands of items. Our developers lean heavily on the query-parameter based parameterization in order to quickly build and support new transformation types as needed. We appreciate the clarity of both the API and documentation.
What do you dislike about the product?
As Cloudinary is an end-to-end solution, we would prefer to use particular components a la carte and forego others, such as the ability to skip the Cloudinary CDN and front everything in our own CDN.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We primarily need Cloudinary to allow us to take a source image and run it through a large number of transformations in order to generate versions suitable for thumbnail, mobile display, e-mail sending, etc. We're most often using the compression, resizing, cropping, and filetype conversion features. We only use the API programmatically for all operation.
Wren Kitchens Content Writer Cloudinary Review
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudinary is an excellent storage system for all of our visual and audio assets and it makes it very easy to share assets between the different departments of our company. It is also very helpful with how it modifies images for different platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have recently had a lot of trouble embedding our cloudinary links to videos in our eLearning training material on Rise360. While we have been in touch with cloudinary support on several occasions, they have yet to resolve this issue so we've had to start embedding videos on the modules themselves instead.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of sharing and accessing our video, audio and visual assets across the entire company. This is a big help for our training team so we can include footage and photography taken from showrooms and houses across the country.
Powerful and easy to get started with
What do you like best about the product?
Great documentations and fast signup. Transformation is easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is going through some modernisation and difficult to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transformation features allow me to create personalized product images.
Cloudinary Review - Curran Marketing
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is pretty easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
The transformations are cumbersome, and overlaying a graphic takes a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us store images for our website efficiently.
Robust DAM suited for technical teams
What do you like best about the product?
Cloudinary is feature-rich, which can be helpful, but takes some getting used to. They do offer lots of training documentation, webinars, and have responded quickly on their help forum. I particularly like all of the tagging and filtering, it makes sorting and searching images easy. The collection feature is also a great value for sharing assets with people outside of your organization.
What do you dislike about the product?
When my team first started using cloudinary in 2022, it felt overbuilt and overly complex to perform some basic features. The UI has gotten much better, but the product still has many features my team doesn't use for managing our front-end assets and some basic tasks still require specialization and training to get the hang of.
The integration with Contentful, my CMS, is still rudimentary.
The integration with Contentful, my CMS, is still rudimentary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudinary is our DAM for Contentful, allowing us to host images and assets, apply transformations to the front end, and share files with external partners.
It makes sharing images easy.
What do you like best about the product?
I love how user friendly it is and the layout. It's easy to navigate and customer service responds quickly to any questions or concerns.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no complaints at the moment. So far everything has worked out for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to link images to all of my products.
Cloudinary makes my digital asset management easier
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cloudinary solves the headache of managing and delivering media at scale. I use the API in both TypeScript and Go, and it’s super smooth to integrate—whether I’m uploading assets, applying transformations, or fetching optimized URLs on the fly. It saves me from writing boilerplate image-processing code, and the CDN delivery keeps everything fast. Overall, it cuts dev time, keeps performance sharp, and simplifies media handling across platforms.
Swiss Army Knive
What do you like best about the product?
We especially like using the API, metadata features, and inline URL parameters.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was better Drupal integrations available and that the auto-tagging could learn our product names from our existing metadata.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing and organizing all of your digital assets in one place is a tremendous benefit of any DAM platform. Cloudinary, specifically, also helps avoid the proliferation of variants by nature of the inline URL parameters that can make image adjustments on the fly. Cloudinary also serves as a great CDN for our digital assets.
Execellent API support for developers.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of signup and very generous free tier.
I regularly run workshops in which participants build a starter web application which allows users to upload images through the browser on mobile phones.
I like the cloudinary dashboard which immidiatelly presents a code example to integrate the upload into a node.js application.
We also use cloudinary as CDN for pdf documents and host all media presented on our corporate website geolytix.com on cloudinary.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having to install the cloudinary node package is somewhat cumbersome and completely unnecessary. It is fairly easy to sign an url for upload to the cloudinary API directly from the browser. The trickiest bit was to find the example.
The media explorer interface is somewhat long in the tooth. Batch uploads could be smoother.
I'd prefer if the file name would be retained when uploading an image through the media explorer interface into a folder.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am building web applications that allow user to upload images and documents from the browser to cloudinary. An example is a mapping application which allows the user to take an image with the phone and upload the image directly to cloudinary by signing the upload URL in an AWS lambda with access to the cloudinary account secrets.
