Game changer, especially for Shop-Images

My problem is that a client’s shop is a complete mess in regards of image sizes and dimensions. Not because of the client but because of the manufacturers who provide product images in all kinds of formats and dimensions. To bring all of them automated into the same dimensions is a nightmare. I mean portraits, landscape, too small, too big, etc.

In my opinion, Cloudinary is a game changer as the images are stored in whatever format in the cloud, and displayed in the correct format on the fly using transformations in the image URL. Still, some images need special attention because no one can produce gold out of garbage but for 95% of around 2k images, it works just fine.

Besides, the additional features like lazy-loading, responsiveness, etc. are just an amazing addon.

I just started using it but so far, it helped me a lot.

And as others wrote, the integration worked smoothly out of the box because there are no changes to the html or any redirects happening like when you use plugins that create webp images on the fly. Cloudinary does this too but without altering anything (or at least I’m not aware of it).

So far, I love it and see huge potential. Cloudinary can do so much more than efficiently deliver images on your website.
