Overview

Product Information on Cloudinary

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Cloudinary?

Cloudinary is a software that provides solutions for managing, optimizing, and delivering digital media such as images and videos. The software enables organizations to upload, store, transform, and deliver media assets efficiently across various platforms and devices. It includes features for automated image and video optimization, resizing, format conversion, and adaptive delivery to improve performance and user experience. Cloudinary offers APIs and integrations for streamlining media workflows within web and mobile applications. The software addresses the business challenge of handling large volumes of media content while ensuring fast load times, consistency, and high quality across different user environments.

Cloudinary Pricing

Cloudinary software uses a tiered pricing model that includes a free tier with limited usage and additional paid plans based on monthly usage of resources such as storage, transformations, and bandwidth. The paid plans are structured to scale according to the volume of media managed and processed by the software. Usage exceeding plan limits may incur overage charges. Custom enterprise pricing is also available for specialized requirements.

“Exploring the Advantages and Limitations of Cloudinary's Asset Management”

Jan 31, 2025
Cloudinary is an effective DAM tool as a cloud solution for managing and distributing media assets. Indeed, it makes the management of assets easier, but more flexibility would be best suited to enhance our digitization of content strategies.

Cloudinary Likes & Dislikes

Like

Implemented for global use in native apps (incl China) and provided great service for our customers

Like

Cloudinary keeps all images, videos and other files in one place with easy access for members of our marketing team. Automatic processing and resizing for various devices increases the uniformity of image quality.

Like

Most tickets I've submitted to the support team have been completed to my full satisfaction. Regardless of whether or not I liked the answer, I will usually receive a good explanation and if it involves something with my account, then my CS team is looped in and they immediately reach out or we'll touch base about it during our scheduled meetings.

Dislike

Definite feature bloat in the UI. On the occasional times we've needed support their staff are super helpful and turnaround times are good, but reaching a solution has taken a little while (although we are an abnormal use case!)

Dislike

We cannot design specific workflows according to our needs or make the platform fully compatible with our current CMS. This lack of flexibility demands more workarounds and hampers a fully seamless brand asset experience.

Dislike

Sub accounts aren't treated separately, they're tied under one master account which makes it nearly impossible to manage additional add-ons, integrations, settings, reporting, and more, on a sub-account basis. There is limited reporting as well. I'd like to see who logged in and used what and where my asset is being used. Reporting is very generic.

    Exploring the Limitations of Customization in Cloudinary

    Jan 15, 2025
    Asset management and delivery are the core functions of Cloudinary which is a strong DAM solution. A drawback of such service is that there are limited ways to customize the look and feel of the page for brand conscious businesses.

    Product Review: Cloudinary's Innovative Features Enhance Workflow Efficiency

    4.0
    Nov 27, 2024
    I enjoy working with the support team and our customer service reps, I always feel like I can very easily get a hold of a human to walk me through anything. There is a consistent stream of innovation regardless of whether or not it applies to our company. As a primary DAM user, I've been able to improve some workflows as it pertains to photo editing, storing, and sharing. Cloudinary also supports many third party integrations should I ever need them, as well as add-ons such as image tagging and recognition.
