Hosting Images on Amazon S3

Although, I do all of the image optimization on my own with the images I upload to Cloudinary, the “Transformations” that Cloudinary allows you to set up are amazing. Using Transformations does use your “credits”, however, using Transformations does reduce your “Bandwidth” usage. So, if your client can’t optimize images, or needs a 50MB image uploaded to Cloudinary, you can set up a Transformation that will display that huge file at minimal size, yet still allow you to link to the full sized image if needed for download.

So, host all the images at any size you want on Cloudinary, then set up Transformations for stellar optimization when displaying the images in your site.
