We use CI on our VueStorefront based ecommerce platform that uses a magento backend.
We have thousands of products, and CI simplifies our image delivery to end customers.
Of all the issues we have had, image delivery, optimisation and such has not been an issue with cloudimage at all.
Pros
Cloud Image offers optimisation in at least 3 distinct ways with one very simple integration:
- Image optimisation and compression.
- Image scaling and custom size delivery.
- CDN Localised delivery.
CI offers a selection of premade integrations and plugins to support a wide range of existing solutions. The full list is pretty extensive but, we use the VUE one.
We even got a custom feature implemented in house, and the CI team loved it so much, that they bought it back into thier own codebase.
CloudImage ticks all the boxes, and in my opinion is the market leader in amongst an admittedly sparse market.
All issues we have encountered have been small and been resolved swiftly by our contact at CI
Cons
CI, while being priced similarly to market competitors, is expensive.
It is something that a business could roll thier own version of with the right amount of time and capex and make fair savings over CI's offering.
One gripe of mine would be that CI doesnt appear to use closest match image sizing between different requested sizes (lets say in 100px tranches) and instead renders a new pixel perfect version of the original for every new with requested. This inflates cache size somewhat (and potentially traffic too if the same image is used in multuple places), though would love to be corrected on this!

Since implementing Cloudimage, everything has run smoothly without any issues, delivering consistently high performance. Due to time constraints, I couldn’t dive into the documentation, so I reached out to the support team and was pleasantly surprised by their quick response and how helpful the engineer was in resolving my queries.
In the past, I’ve used both free and paid tools from competitors, but I wouldn’t go back to them. Cloudimage offers excellent value for money, and its platform's stability has freed me up to focus on more important tasks, like implementing Scaleflex DAM and other high-priority projects.
Pros
I like Cloudimage because it seamlessly optimises and delivers images in real time, boosting my website’s performance with fast load times, responsive design, and effortless transformations, all while reducing bandwidth and ensuring an excellent user experience.
Cloudimage is incredibly simple to implement and works out-of-the-box, requiring minimal setup. With just a few URL modifications, you can start optimising and delivering images instantly, making it a hassle-free solution for improving website performance.
Cons
Cloudimage's documentation initially didn’t fully showcase the software's true power, but I’ve noticed significant improvements in recent months. It's now better structured, providing clearer and more practical guidance, making it much easier to tap into the full potential of the software.

We use to scale images for one of our client facing applications where we host hi res version of images and use Cloudimage to provide optimised images.
Pros
Easy to get started and easy to implement in your website. A lot of control on the output.
Cons
No way to automatically empty the cache or set a limit to the amount of cache your want to use. The admin is a bit clunky, but it works.

Easy to use with a generous free tier
Reviewed on 16/12/2021
Pros
It is very easy to use, signup, get a domain and follow the simple ?query parameters to implement. Easy pricing mechanism, based on data transferred, rather than complicated transactions, cache hits/misses etc. Very reliable.
Cons
Documentation can be improved, but that's not to say it is bad, but sometimes it is hard to find a specific feature.
