What is Cloudinary?
Cloudinary is an end-to-end media management platform for images and videos, used by developers and businesses to handle every stage of the visual media lifecycle on websites and mobile apps.
The platform covers uploads, storage, AI-powered transformations, automatic optimization, and global delivery through a fast CDN. You can resize, crop, convert formats, apply effects, generate responsive variants, and transcode video on the fly using a simple URL-based API — no complex software to install or manage.
Cloudinary includes advanced AI capabilities such as automatic content-aware cropping, background removal, image and video tagging, generative fill, and visual search. Video features cover adaptive bitrate streaming, live streaming, and player customization, while a built-in Digital Asset Management (DAM) layer — Cloudinary MediaFlows and the Media Library — helps teams organize, collaborate on, and govern their media at scale.
With comprehensive REST APIs, SDKs for every major language and framework, and integrations with popular CMS, e-commerce, and DAM tools, Cloudinary is easy to integrate into both new and existing web and mobile applications.
