Cloudinary has a fully-featured free plan available. Sign up takes just a few seconds and you’re ready to go. Sign up now!

You can use the free plan for as long as you want. If your usage requirements ever grow above the free plan’s generous usage limits, you can easily upgrade to the plan that best fits your needs.

Cloudinary’s pricing covers your end-to-end image and video related costs – image and video management, processing, transformations, effects and manipulation features, all managed storage and IO costs and all viewing bandwidth usage & requests costs while delivering assets through a CDN, and of-course the service itself (APIs, SDKs, admin console, support, availability, etc.).
Cloudinary’s price will always be more cost effective than doing all of this in-house.

1 Credit equals 1000 transformations or 1GB of managed storage or 1GB of viewing bandwidth or 500 SD video seconds or 250 HD video processing seconds. Credit based pricing offers flexibility when you have varying needs in terms of transformations, storage, video, or bandwidth. Calculate credits

It’s easier than it seems. Let’s say you need 2GB of image storage (that’s 2 credits), 4GB of bandwidth (add 4 credits) and maybe 4000 monthly transformations (that’s 4 more credits). Add that up, and you need 10 credits. Looks like you’ll be fine with the generous allocations of the Free plan in this case. Of course, if you need help, you can contact us.

Yes. You can track your credit usage in your dashboard, and see exactly how many credits you are using at any time towards transformations, video, storage and bandwidth. This keeps you in control of your usage, and also helps you size your future needs.

Cloudinary’s limits are soft limits. Once you exceed these, we’ll ping and ask you nicely to upgrade to a plan that best covers your needs.

You can upgrade your free or paid account at any time from your management console. Just click any of the upgrade links. You will be discounted for the unused monthly period of your previous plan.

Monthly transformations are the number of times an original is uploaded or a derived resource is created for the first time. Images and videos accessed subsequently to initial creation, do not increment the monthly transformations counter.

Cloudinary, unlike CDN providers, counts only net viewing bandwidth. We do not count or charge you extra for non-US traffic, HTTPS traffic, Midgress bandwidth, TCP overheads, and don’t charge you according to the number of files viewed (cost per request) or for traffic to origin.
Together with Cloudinary’s extensive image and video size optimization capabilities, your actual bandwidth with Cloudinary should end up considerably less than your current bandwidth.

Credits are used for each video upload and for each unique video transformation that Cloudinary generates.
1 credit equates to 500 seconds of SD (Standard Definition) video or 250 seconds of HD (High Definition) video.
Note that each unique video transformation is counted only once, regardless of how many times your users view it.

Cloudinary can handle virtually limitless amount of uploads, transformations and deliveries. Contact us and tell us about your unique requirements. We’ll tailor a plan perfect for your needs.

Integration with Cloudinary is very straightforward. In addition, we have client libraries for all popular development frameworks, thorough documentation, easy to use APIs, and great support. We’ve got you covered.

Once on Cloudinary, all of your website’s images can be optimized, cached and served via globally available CDNs such as Akamai, Fastly, and Cloudflare.

Yes, but not with our off-the-shelf plans. Please contact us if you need a custom quote with your own CDN. For enterprise plans, we can help you set up your own CDN as part of setup.

Once uploaded to Cloudinary, your assets are safely stored on Cloudinary’s cloud storage powered by Amazon S3 and Google Cloud, with multiple backups and multi-region redundancies. If you wish, we can automatically back your assets to your own cloud storage as well (available to any of our paid plans), or you can use our APIs to browse your existing assets and copy them to your own storage solution. Our Enterprise customers can choose to store their Cloudinary raw assets on their own cloud storage, managing redundancies and availability themselves. By default, Cloudinary uses storage in the US; Enterprise accounts can request storage in different geographical locations, such as EU-only, for regulatory reasons.

Yes. Cloudinary offers a complete media-management solution, but will manage any file type you throw at it, including images, videos, textual files and more. Cloudinary will serve such non-image files as-is. Do notice that you can not use Cloudinary to manage illegal or highly controversial content. If you’re uncertain whether your files fall into this category, you may want to read our TOS and our CDN partner’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Yes, Cloudinary is available on Heroku, AWS Marketplace, and via our global network of resellers and partners.
