Cloudinary stores, transforms and delivers images and videos: resize, crop, convert, trim and add overlays by changing the delivery URL, and stream video with adaptive bitrate, for example to serve the right size of every upload. Upload with the REST API and an API key and secret; transformations are part of the URL. Free plan with 25 credits a month, without a payment card. Official MCP servers (github.com/cloudinary/mcp-servers) let AI agents upload and transform media.
