What Developers Are Saying
James Q Quick
Content Creator, Learn Build Teach, LLC
Creating customized images for each episode of our podcast, Compressed.fm, is a hassle. To save loads of time and energy, we use Cloudinary to automatically generate unique images with JavaScript for each episode. This is just one of the amazing benefits that Cloudinary brings to the media world.
Jason Lengstorf
VP of Developer Experience, Netlify
I have spent hundreds of hours wrestling with media assets for websites in my career. Cloudinary was a game changer for me because I was able to write a bit of code for my websites to transform and optimize media, then forget about it. I don’t have to think about accidentally publishing giant, unoptimized images. In fact, I don’t have to think about images at all anymore. Which is nice.
Tim Benniks
Principal Developer Advocate, Uniform
As a creative developer I’ve been working with media for many years. The times before I discovered Cloudinary feel like the stone ages now. I used to role my own image optimization pipelines, and tools for image transformations. When we needed to normalize thousands of product assets for one of the number one fashion houses in the world, we reached out to Cloudinary. We got it done in a few days and a collaboration was born. I can’t imagine working on any project without using Cloudinary.

I have pretty much accomplished this very difficult task of dealing with images on the website fairly trivially… Cloudinary is awesome for that.
