History edit
Cloudinary was founded in 2011 in Israel[3] by Itai Lahan (CEO), Tal Lev-Ami (CTO), and Nadav Soferman (CPO).[citation needed] Cloudinary grew organically, building a profitable SaaS service, without venture capital funding.[4] In 2015, the company received a strategic investment from Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP),[5] which was BVP's 100th investment in cloud companies.[6]
In 2014, Cloudinary announced fully integrated image processing add-ons leveraging technologies by Imagga, URL2PNG, Aspose, WebPurify and others.[7] In 2015, Cloudinary opened its U.S. headquarters in Palo Alto, California, and added video management to its services.[8] In 2019, the company moved to Santa Clara, California, and launched tools for responsive breakpoint generation.[9] Cloudinary was named among Forbes' The Cloud 100 Rising Stars 2019.[10]
On 7 April 2020, Cloudinary launched its upgraded WordPress plug-in for streamlined picture and video processing, and revealed its designation as a WordPress VIP Platform Partner, a select group of partners evaluated for consistency, protection, ease of use and size.[11]
Cloudinary also has Cloudinary React SDK, which is a library that provides a convenient way to integrate Cloudinary's media management capabilities into React applications. It offers a range of components and hooks that enable developers to easily upload, manipulate, and display images and videos from Cloudinary in their React applications.[12]
Easily save the Image to Cloudinary and image URLs to MongoDB database through API in react's framework Next Js.[13]
