Cloudinary Image & Video release notes: NEXT VERSION

Cloudinary Image

Improved PDF optimization

We've increased the limits and improved the processing flow for optimizing PDFs with automatic quality (q_auto in URLs). Cloudinary can now optimize PDFs with up to 300 pages or 200 MB in size.

If optimization hasn't completed within 30 seconds, Cloudinary returns the original PDF and continues processing for up to another 90 seconds in the background. The original PDF is cached on the CDN for five minutes. Once the cache expires and optimization has completed successfully, subsequent requests will return the optimized version.

If processing doesn't complete within 120 seconds, Cloudinary returns the original.

When uploading a PDF with an incoming transformation that includes automatic quality, you must set the async parameter to true for the PDF to be processed.

Asset and account management

Cloudinary Media Inspector is now GA

The Cloudinary Media Inspector browser extension has moved out of Beta and is now GA, at version 1.0.

The most recent update shows you the number of bytes saved when delivering assets from Cloudinary.

In the overview screen, you can see the bytes saved for each asset as a percentage. Hovering over the value shows you the actual number of bytes saved.

At the bottom of the screen, you can see the total bytes saved overall, and broken down by images and videos.
