What is Cloudimage?

Cloudimage offers a way to optimize and accelerate images for the web.

Cloudimage automates the transformation and optimization of images on the fly and accelerates their distribution via the Content Delivery Network (CDN). Cloudimage helps web pages to become faster and lighter, to improve both SEO and the user experience of the web or mobile application.

Built by Scaleflex, the Cloudimage plugin helps users to:

  • Optimize images on the fly; image URLs will be rewritten and replaced with Cloudimage URLs

  • Accelerate images via rocket-fast Content Delivery Networks around the world

  • Implement the Cloudimage Responsive Images plugin into code automatically, enabling responsive images on any web or mobile application

How does Cloudimage work?

  • Cloudimage downloads and caches: On the first image load, the image is taken from the user's server into its own cache. Cloudimage can be used as an image store as well.
  • The Cloudimage service crops, resizes, cuts, watermarks, colorizes, rotates, remove background and compresses images. Cloudimage converts images into WebP for even more size reduction.
  • Cloudimage aims to apply the best compression for the maximum level of byte reduction imperceptible to the human eye.
  • Images are delivered anywhere around the world via Cloudimage's multi-CDN architecture.

How to implement Cloudimage?

  • Libraries: Javascript (React, Angular, Vue, NextJS) et Ruby Gem

  • Plugins: Magento, WordPress, Prestashop, Opencart, Sylius.

  • Connectors: Kontent, Drupal, Prismic and Shopify

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We needed an image manipulation service for a free-to-use system that would get a fair bit of traffic, but we couldn't afford to pay an arm and a leg for a competitor, especially since the images themselves could easily be hosted on our servers. By just providing the manipulation service with a fairly simple method for linking to our own hosting, Cloudimage fits our requirements perfectly.
Pros and Cons
  • Image manipulation
  • Connecting to self hosted servers
  • Delivers images to the browser
Likelihood to Recommend
This software is well-suited when images are hosted on your own server, but it is less well suited when requiring the "full package" such as manipulations, hosting, uploader, etc.
Most Important Features
  • Value for money
  • Simplicity
  • Works with existing hosting
Return on Investment
  • Time saved
Alternatives Considered
We chose Cloudimage for the value for money, and the ability to link with our own hosting.

A feature rich, scalable and well priced alternative to most image CDN's

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We were using another image CDN provider (not European) and really did not find a compelling offer from them after their huge price hike. Trying to go with a fast but European based provider, we found Cloudimage (French) to be very professional, with good onboarding, [and] plenty of precise settings to bend their solution to our exact needs. Cloudimage is very fast, pricing is based on real metrics, not arbitrary amounts. Support is reactive and friendly. Upgrades are detailed in blog posts every month.
Pros and Cons
  • Great world-wide CDN
  • Excellent image quality with extensive processing options
  • Competitive pricing with progressive tiers
  • Good defaults but well organized interface to configure everything precisely
Likelihood to Recommend
Use it if you have a ton of source images and need many transformations.

Don't use it if you only want to serve a few image[s] to a very very large number of users (CDN bandwidth costs)
Most Important Features
  • Images can come from any source, and this source is always hidden
  • Processing scales very well (you can reset cache and have images regenerated quickly)
  • Processing, watermarking, protecting, is precise and fast
Return on Investment
  • Same or lower cost as before and more possibilities than before
  • Using a GDPR respecting, European (French) based company
  • Using more features like watermarking, fallback image, precise 404 handling
Alternatives Considered
We don't like the new pricing scheme for imgix at all. We could have gone from 100 USD / month to 500 USD / month because they price based on source image (we had 50, 000). With Cloudimage, the pricing is based on source image cache (gigabytes) and CDN bandwidth (gigabytes).

Cloudimage is one of the products that you don't know you need, until you get it, and wonder how you did without it!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use CloudImage on our VueStorefront based eCommerce platform that uses a Magento backend. We have thousands of products, and CloudImage simplifies our image delivery to end customers. We need these images to be served quickly and without compression artifacts. Of all the issues we have had, image delivery, optimisation, and such has not been an issue with CloudImage at all.
Pros and Cons
  • Image Optimisation.
  • Localised CDN Delivery.
  • Image Compression.
  • Pre-made Software Integrations.
Likelihood to Recommend
We have thousands upon thousands of images across 15+ different sites, and not having to worry about compression and delivery is a huge relief. We serve lazy loading product listings (of sometimes 1000+ items) as well as up to 10 different images on a per-product basis. CloudImage is perfectly suited to this, and the lazy loading hasn't made CI so much as a hiccup. The service, once properly installed, hasn't let us down.
Most Important Features
  • Image resizing.
  • Localised CDN delivery.
  • Lossless compression.
Return on Investment
  • Primary been a time saver!
  • Saves us rolling our own solution.
  • Increases conversion of the end user on average.
Alternatives Considered
So apparently I can't select the options. I have tried, but the only other one we seriously looked at was Piio. A couple of others we evaluated (for such a brief time) were similar to Piio, and didn't really cover what we needed. Piio (and others) don't tick all the boxes we need and is much more confusing to implement.
Other Software Used
Products Replaced
No
Key Differentiators
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
We needed something to move our PWA infrastructure into the 21st century. CloudImage is like no other and has more features and smooth integration than any other.
Evaluation Lessons Learned
See if new competitors have entered the market.
Support Rating
10
We have a single contact point, but CI has been immaculate with their support offering. Instantaneous and comprehensive.
Premium Support
No. This is included.
Bug Resolution
Yes
Yep, lighning fast to be honest. Early days too.

Pros and Cons

Suited for people that look to CDN large range of pics easily and quickly.
Not suited for people that look to host images.
