Q: Hi, I am currently using Cloudinary (https://cloudinary.
com/) from image transformation and CDN and I am very interested in your service. Can you do a quick comparison for me on how you compare to them? I am assuming that you have an API for using with our web application.
Thanks,
Sandeep

May 14, 2024A: Hello,
Cloudinary is a different product compared to Cloudimage.
First, they are a DAM solution and we directly compete with them with our other product Filerobot.com and recently transfered a share of their clients to us with better pricing and custom plugins, uploaders.
Second, Cloudimage is image CDN and we do not store your images. We cache them, resize and deliver on the fly just by updating image URLs (connecting to your original storage).
Hope that helps.

So just trying to understand if I can use cloud image for my purpose so follow on questions -
1. If I use S3 for storage of my original photos, I could then using cloud image via API to transform those images into different sizes to use in my web app. Is that correct ?
2. Do you store the transformed images or are they stored on my S3 as well?
3. pArt form storage, what is the difference between Filerobot is like cloud image?
1. Yes. It works by upading image URLs with token and transformations.
2. No, we only download the cache copy of your images from s3.
3. Filerobot is full DAM solution and Cloudimage functionalities are included in it.
