# Cloudinary Image & Video Release Notes: October 31, 2025

## Cloudinary Image

### New 3D features in Product Gallery widget

There are now more ways to customize how your 3D models are displayed in the Cloudinary Product Gallery.

Extra properties have been added to [Ar3dProps](product_gallery_reference#ar3dprops) allowing you to set the 3D model to automatically rotate, customize the AR modal, show the zoom buttons, and customize the user interface.

You can also subscribe to new [events](product_gallery_reference#events) that let you know when the 3D model has finished loading, when the "View in AR" button has been clicked, and when the QR code is ready.

## Cloudinary Video

### HDR video transformation and delivery

Cloudinary now supports HDR10 video transformation and delivery, allowing you to deliver your HDR10 source content while preserving the original color-grading and HDR metadata.

To request HDR output, use both the `dynamic_range` parameter set to `high` (`dr_high` in URLs) and the `video_codec` parameter set to `h265` (`vc_h265` in URLs):

```
https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/video/upload/dr_high,vc_h265/hdr-video.mp4
```

HDR transformations support trimming, scaling, cropping, text overlays, subtitles, and audio transformations. When HDR output isn't supported due to input limitations or unsupported transformation combinations, Cloudinary automatically falls back to tone-mapped SDR output.

### Switch between different versions of a single video

The Video Player now supports providing multiple versions of the same video content along with a switcher button in the player, enabling your users to switch between the different versions. 

This is useful when you want to offer different versions of a video, such as dubbed versions in different languages or alternative cuts.

When you provide multiple video sources, a source switcher is automatically shown in the player controls allowing users to select from the available versions. 

![video player source switcher](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/bo_1px_solid_gray/f_auto/q_auto/docs/video_player_source_switcher.png "thumb: w_400,dpr_2, width: 400, popup: true")

Each source object can include all standard video source properties plus a `label` parameter that defines what text appears in the source switcher UI.

```js
const player = cloudinary.videoPlayer('player', {
  cloudName: 'demo',
  videoSources: [
    {
      publicId: 'product_demo',
      label: 'Main Version'
    },
    {
      publicId: 'product_demo_alt', 
      label: 'Alternative Version'
    }
  ]
});
```

* Drag and drop to reorder subtitle languages as they appear to viewers
* Toggle translations on or off for viewer availability
* Set a default language that displays first when viewers load the video
* Export subtitles in `.vtt` or `.srt` format with a single click

### Video Analytics search and filter improvements

Video Analytics now includes search functionality within filter lists, making it faster and easier to locate specific filters and apply them to your analytics data. 

Additionally, long public ID strings are now displayed in an easier-to-read format.

### Upload widget accessibility

The Cloudinary Upload widget now includes comprehensive accessibility support aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA standards. It provides built-in compatibility for keyboard navigation, screen readers, and low-vision use cases—all without changing your core workflows.

These updates help ensure that anyone can upload and manage media through an inclusive, fully accessible interface.

![Accessible Upload widget](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/bo_1px_solid_grey/v1756988429/docs/upload_widget_accessible.png "thumb:w_500,dpr_2, width:500, with_code:false, with_url:false, popup:true")

**[Learn more](upload_widget#accessibility)**

### New Usage Reports page in Console

Explore the new Usage Reports page in the Cloudinary Console (**[Home > Usage Reports](https://console.cloudinary.com/app/home/usage-reports)**) to get a detailed breakdown of your account and product environment usage metrics. 

This new report helps you track image impressions, video seconds delivered, transformations, bandwidth, and storage over a selected period. It's a great way to keep an eye on your usage trends and make informed decisions about your plan. 

![Usage Overview - Product Environment](https://cloudinary-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/bo_1px_solid_gray/v1756900109/docs/usage_report_current_env.png "thumb:w_400,dpr_2, width:400, with_url:false, with_code:false, popup:true")

**[Learn more](programmable_media_asset_usage_data#usage_reports)**

### Root API key deletion

You can now disable account and product environment root API keys, and also delete product environment root API keys directly from the Cloudinary Console Settings: 

* [Account API keys](https://console.cloudinary.com/app/settings/account-api-keys) 
* [Product environment API keys](https://console.cloudinary.com/app/settings/api-keys)

This gives you more control and flexibility over your root keys.

> **NOTE**: Root API keys are only available in product environments created on or after June 5, 2025.

**[Learn more](product_environment_settings#root_api_key)**

### More accurate deletions based on last access reports

Fixed an issue that caused assets with whitespace or special characters to be excluded from last access reports.

All assets are now correctly included, ensuring that bulk deletion in the Cloudinary Console based on last access time no longer skips eligible files.

**[Learn more](admin_api#resources_last_access_reports)** 

## Docs and demo apps

### Adaptability section in Accessible Media guide

There's a new section on image and video adaptability in the Accessible Media guide. This section covers how to ensure that images and videos can be viewed effectively across different device orientations and screen sizes, with intelligent cropping features that automatically preserve the most important visual elements when adapting to different aspect ratios. 

**[Learn more](accessible_media_adaptability)**

### New Svelte sample project

There's a new [Photo Album sample project](https://github.com/cloudinary-devs/svelte-pa) available, which demonstrates how to use the community-developed [Svelte SDK](community_sdks#svelte_components) for uploading files to Cloudinary, and using transformations to optimize and customize their delivery and display.
