Perhaps some of you readers that have been around for a while remember our add-ons launch 2 years back<\/a>, when we introduced a number of third party image processing products, fully integrated into the Cloudinary image management pipeline.\nSince then our add-ons marketplace has grown, both in our offerings and in usage. We now have 11 add-ons<\/a> offering various capabilities and improvements.<\/p>\n

I decided to take a peek and see which of our add-ons are most frequently used and popular amongst our customers.<\/p>\n

Advanced Facial Attribute Detection<\/h2>\n

Firstly, we have our Advanced Facial Attribute Detection<\/a> add-on. The \u2018Face API\u2019 of Microsoft\u2019s Cognitive Services allows you to accurately and automatically detect eyes, nose and other facial attributes in your photos. An in depth blog post describing this powerful add-on is coming up in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

JPEGmini<\/h2>\n

Our second most popular add-on, the JPEGmini image optimization<\/a> add-on, is an add-on that helps reduce the file size of your photos by up to 5x, while keeping their original quality and JPEG format. Any Cloudinary image transformation can be chained as well of course. When using the JPEGmini add-on, your images will be automatically optimized using advanced visual algorithms achieving maximum file size reduction while maintaining a very high visual quality. This seems like a no-brainer to me – who wouldn\u2019t want their images automatically optimized in such a manner??\nYou can also read more about this add-on in this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Imagga crop & scale<\/h2>\n

Imagga\u2019s crop & scale<\/a> smart cropping technology automatically chooses the most visually appealing parts of your images and crops them accordingly, extending Cloudinary\u2019s powerful cropping capabilities with automatic cropping that is not only based on detected faces. When using the Imagga add-on, your images will be scaled and cropped based on automatically calculated areas of interest within each specific photo. This add-on was also described in this blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
