In part 1 of this blog series, we told you how we can optimize the process of uploading user images from your mobile app by taking advantage of the new pre-upload image processing functionality available in Cloudinary's iOS and Android SDKs. We showed how you can scale down all user images to the maximum size necessary before you upload them, to save bandwidth and improve app performance.

As a mobile developer, enabling users to upload images and share them with other users is a very common requirement. When developing those capabilities, we need to take into account that most users won't think twice about uploading the massive images that their high-resolution mobile cameras capture. Those huge files are not only overkill for on-screen display, but can also cause significant slow downs in upload and delivery times. And of course those same users wouldn't think twice about complaining or abandoning our app if their overall user experience wasn't smooth and fast.
My work demands that I stay away from my phone and mobile notifications in order to be as productive as possible each day. It’s not unusual to find me at my desk for a total 12 hours a day (I work remotely), with four hours going to browsing the internet.
