What's Cloudinary?

Cloudinary is a cloud-based media management service. It allows users to store, adjust, and optimize all images and video in one place offering a number of tools for editing. It is widely used for web and mobile app development by software engineers all over the world.

Cloudinary uses Application Program Interface (API) for integration with web applications and relies on Content Delivery Networks (CDN) for fast content delivery. It allows you to upload an unlimited number of images and videos that you use in your application in a private and secure way. You can expect the service to perform consistent automatic backups. 

Cloudinary helps its users to eliminate excessive software costs by combining simple-to-use tools for image editing and saving up a lot of bandwidth. It’s a simple, yet elegant, solution that allows users to save time and resources and focus on the business areas that matter for the company’s growth.
