About Uploadcare

Uploadcare handles the messy parts of user-generated content: file uploads, image resizing, compression, and delivery via a global CDN. It replaces multiple services (upload widget, image optimizer, CDN) with one API.

What it does

You add a JavaScript widget or API endpoint, and Uploadcare manages file validation, storage, transformation (crop, resize, filter), and fast delivery. It processes images on the fly with URL-based parameters.

Best for

  • Developers building apps with user image uploads
  • E-commerce sites needing product image optimization
  • Teams wanting to reduce image load times without manual work

Strengths

  • File upload widget works in 5 minutes — no backend code
  • Automatic image compression reduces file size by 60-80%
  • Global CDN with edge caching for fast delivery

Key features

  • File upload widget — Drag-and-drop, multi-file, with progress bars and validation
  • Image transformation API — Resize, crop, rotate, apply filters via URL parameters
  • Automatic optimization — Compress images without quality loss
  • Video processing — Upload, transcode, and stream videos
  • Content delivery network — Fast global delivery with CDN caching
