Uploading images/videos also uses net bandwidth limit in Cloudinary?


I am looking forward to using Cloudinary for my present project. And cloudinary recently added proper support for videos, which is god-send.

I am a little confused about the bandwidth limit:

Will the net bandwidth limit imposed by Cloudinary be effected by the uploading of content (image/videos)? Or is it only applicable while I view (download) them?

Also, does Cloudinary charge the developer for automatic transcoding of videos?


Solution

  • Cloudinary only charges bandwidth for downloading content from your account.

    Regarding video transformations, Cloudinary charges for each newly transformed video according to the following policy:

    For SD videos every second equals 2 transformations, While for HD videos it equals as 4.
