Allowing your users to upload their own images to your website can increase user engagement, retention and monetization. However, allowing your users to upload any image they want to, may lead to some of your users uploading inappropriate images to your application. These images may offend other users or even cause your site to violate standards or regulations.
Here at Cloudinary, we provide a cloud-based tool that enables our users to compress images and video for their websites and apps.

Developing applications for mobile consumption requires facing, and overcoming, some difficult challenges.

Coordination with other apps is crucial to keep the device responsive and make the battery last longer.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Responsive Images Guide!
In part 1, I laid out the big idea: a responsive image is a variable image – which adjusts itself to fit variable contexts.
In part 2, we looked at the most common way that an image can do exactly that: scaling itself up and down to fit viewports of different sizes and screens with different densities.
