### "The best CDN for images"

January 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's super easy to upload images and make them available through on the Internet with lightning speed and transformation rules done through URL extension.

Cons

In public URLs it's not possible to use custom names instead of UUIDs assigned by Uploadcare.

Response from Uploadcare

January 12, 2023

Hi Fedor, Thank you very much for your feedback! I am sorry to hear that not everything was smooth for you. Indeed, our CDN URL scheme is based on UUIDs and there's no way to replace UUIDs with something else, but users can use any file name after the last slash in a URL (e.g. for SEO purposes). You can find more information in our docs: https://uploadcare.com/docs/delivery/cdn/#cdn-filename If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Cheers, Aleksandra

### "It is as easy as they claim in the marketing side, a go to when you need to upload anything."

May 15, 2018

5.0

Reduce development time, accelerating feature creation, plus having image processing save tons of backend code or installing image processing libraries. Perfect for large solution and ideal for small project, because the free plan is sensational.

Pros

\- Easy to use - Free plan is way more than enough - Filters and image processing OMG! - Easy to customize, I'm using a custom button and upload views - Made thinking on the developers - No need for weird libraries or uglify your code - Documentation is clean and easy to follow - Large community when needed a little extra not in the docs

Cons

It is great overall, the only thing I dislike the most is the validations API, you have to include an estrange method to return errors and validation simple things you can do in the init section of the library, validations such as file type or file size limit should be easy as the implementation it self, you have to go an manually include those extra methods. Those validations are easy to include, but should

### "Prompt Sharing of Project Progress"

May 1, 2021

4.0

Overall, the software is OK but they may need to provide a better demo package so that potential customers can really get a few of what they'll be purchasing

Pros

This software acts like a company gallery. It allows our startup company to not only upload and store files safely but also share these files, especially visuals with project partners and sponsors. This enables prompt project progress reporting. Their pricing is also very affordable for startup companies, while they also offer special offers for NGO's. I'd recommend this platform to startups

Cons

The demo can be much better. Its features are very limited and very different from the bought packages

### "Helped us to build an app"

August 12, 2016

5.0

Our dev team integrated Uploadcare to RIDERS app (http://riders.co). It helped us to launch a month faster, but it's not the most important part. The most important, is that it just works. Our end-users upload files from Instagram and Facebook, we wouldn't do it by ourselves, but with Uploadcare it's just a bonus, an addition to their uploading, image processing features and CDN. Thumbs up.

Pros

Reliability, it haven't failed for 3 years and counting Customer support, they answer very fast Nice features like uploading from different sources like Facebook and Instagram

Cons

It's not the easiest to install in the first place Very developer centric, but your engineers could like it Documentation is good, but hard to find

July 27, 2018

5.0

Very good experience with the software and getting my specific questions answered by their support staff.

Pros

I found Uploadcare to be so easy to integrate with a client's Webflow landing page form. It also provides a nice and easy user experience, which is important for our lead generation.

Cons

So far I can't think of anything I did not like.

May 8, 2018

5.0

Pros

It's easy to set up - my developers were happy to use it. The user experience is self explanatory and all the users were happy with the user interface and overall performance.

Cons

I have to download the invoice every month and send it to my accounting manually, I wish that could work automatically.

5.0

\- Easy integration via their API. - Image processing API makes it easy to make changes in our code without creating new thumbnails every time.

### "Uploadcare is a great service to host your images at scale."

September 11, 2017

5.0

This service allowed us to remove paperclip and some issues we were having getting that to work reliably. It also removed the complexities around resizing and a dynamic way to upload images without us to having to implement them ourselves.

Pros

The ease of getting the solution integrated with our product, and the ability to serve up images at scale and allow us to resize on the fly have been a great improvement over "roll our own" solutions to hosting images for our customers.

Cons

Along they way there have been some small hiccups with the API and the javascript that drives the upload widget. The team at Uploadcare have, however, always been responsive to our concerns.

### "Saves me a lot of time on implementing all things upload"

July 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I don't have to think, how to design upload feature. I just have to implement it. It saves a massive amount of focus and time.

Cons

Sometimes confusing docs, a bit outdated (at the time of writing this there was no react library, but as far as I know Uploadcare team is working on it).

### "great, quick and easy loading of images without going crazy"

May 18, 2018

5.0

It has solved the loading of images in a simple, fast and efficient way. Our clients like the simplicity of the tool and that the images load quickly. It is a specific tool for images which makes everything easier for our team.

Pros

quick upload of photos without having to create a specific server, specialized in images makes uploading photos simple and fast, which is what users are looking for

Cons

I would like the photo of the cover to be loaded at the moment, that the clients visualize before giving to publish

### "Uploadcare saved a lot of time and money for my project. Great service!!"

May 8, 2018

5.0

Easily added an uploading feature to my online photo printing service.

Pros

Greatest thing about Uploadcare is that it's simple and super easy to use. I've tried many other services that does something similar, but nothing else worked the way I needed for my project. I also love the intuitive UI the have, which ultimately makes all the difference for user experience of my service.

Cons

Very rarely, when the user crops their images, the link that the system generates is broken. Considering that the system is constantly being updated, I'm sure a problem like this will be fixed in no time.

I tied up Uploadcare with Zapier and this seems to be working well.

Pros

I liked the fact that someone else has done the hard work for me.

Cons

The php instructions are minimal - I would have liked a bit more detail about setting up some common scenarios

### "Takes away the hassle"

March 30, 2020

5.0

Painless.

Pros

If you need a quick and simple file/image attachment feature for your forms, this will do the job perfectly. It integrates seamlessely with your existing form and requires zero backend changes. Interface is very user friendly with very modest branding. I will be using this again whenever a project calls for it. The API is pretty good too.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of anything. Perhaps the ability to change the button text, but there's a chance It already has that and I missed it.

Reason for choosing Uploadcare

Okay guys, you just asked me that! (Why did you make the switch?) - stop stroking your own ego, you know you did good! :D haha. thank you.
