The value of categorizing all the images in your library cannot be underestimated. Besides the obvious advantage of making your image library searchable and displaying relevant content to your users based on their interests, you can also learn more about your users according to the content they upload, and find out what people care about and look for. However, when dealing with a large volume of images, manually categorizing the images would take up too much time and resources.
For our first in a series of Q&A posts with our ImageCon 2018 speakers, we spoke with Ryan Cooke, a Software Engineer and Android Developer at Pinterest, a site that serves up billions of images everyday. In the following post he discusses why improving mobile images was important for improving the user experience and offers advice on building a mobile-first site.
Great images and video engage users. And great content can be the difference between success and failure. As a developer, you probably spend not an insignificant amount of time creating, manipulating and optimizing your media to ensure a powerful user experience. The path to engaging content is much more than resizing and formatting. The journey requires good insights and strong data to drive decisions about user consumption. We launched ImageCon for developers and creators like you. Our aim is to host a day where we can come together on all things digital media and learn from other innovative developers and creators who will share their tips, tricks and tools for managing images, video and other forms of media.
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.
We’re very excited to announce our new partnership with eZ Systems. Developers leveraging eZ’s open source Content Management Platform, eZ Platform, can now use Cloudinary's award-winning solution to deliver more responsive websites and applications that improve customer engagement.
