Uploadcare Reviews

“Feature rich tool!

Pros

I came across Uploadcare while looking for a fast image upload solution and I was instantly impressed. It is packed with every feature you could want such as I could resize images, work with JsoN files and even auto-crop pictures while keeping the focal point intact. overall it is absolutely brilliant.

Cons

To be honest I really cannot think of anything major though it would be great to see a few more features like an AI image editor or enhancer, added in the future.

“flexible settings for full website customization

Pros

What stands out most to me is how customizable it is. Whether I am tweaking the upload widget or picking from different display settings, Uploadcare gives me all the flexibility I need to make my website feel unique.

Cons

so far so good. But when it comes to avoiding vendor lock-in, there is room for improvement especially offering more open-source options for image processing that would benefit all users.

“Highly recommended!

Pros

I would definitely recommend going with the pro plan over basic. With pro, files are automatically stored and delivered through their cDN and the ApI lets you resize and crop images exactly how you want.

Cons

The pricing feels a bit high, even for the demo plan especially since there are not many ways to test out and understand each feature. Also it would help if basic plans included access to more resources for learning.

“Lightning fast image uploads

Pros

I find it incredibly easy to upload images and make them available on the internet at lightning speed. The transformation rules through URL extension are a huge bonus for me.

Cons

Public URLs don't allow custom names in my opinion, they only use UUIDs assigned by this tool which can be inconvenient for me.

“easy integration and setup

Pros

one thing I really like is how easy it is to integrate and get everything set up.

Cons

There is not much to complain about, honestly I don't have any real dislikes.

“best file upload tool & smooth optimization

Pros

Hands down it's the best file upload tool I have used. The image optimization is especially smooth.

Cons

I cannot think of any serious issues. In my opinion they are ahead of the competition.

“Affordable storage for startups

Pros

This software acts like a company gallery for my startup. It allows me to upload and securely store files, then share them with project partners and sponsors. It helps keep project progress moving smoothly. The pricing is affordable for startups and they even offer special deals for NGOs. I'd recommend it to anyone starting a business.

Cons

The demo could be improved in my opinion. Its features are limited and differ a lot from the full packages.

“surprisingly simple for low-code sites

Pros

seriously, even on low-code websites, adding slick file upload features is so simple. simple to set up, powerful enough to handle almost anything!

Cons

The documentation covers the basics well but some advanced features lacked depth. expanding those sections would improve clarity and help users navigate more complex tasks

“Best saas discovery, amazing support

Pros

Uploadcare is the best saas discovery I have ever made. Lightning-fast loading, sleek widgets, a poweful ApI and amazing support make it unbeatable. I also recommend it to everyone as it's a full 10/10 from a dedicated user.

Cons

Well the early versions of the ReactJs widgets were a bit rough but since the update, working with it ReactJs widget has been a real pleasure.

“best customization support

Pros

Their team helped me customize the integration even though I had very little Javascript experience. They went above and beyond to build exactly what I needed.

Cons

The photo upload workflow takes some getting used to but once we dive in, we realize there are lots of customization options to make it your own.

“powerful yet easy ApI but pricey

Pros

I love the ApI as it is powerful yet easy to use.

Cons

It is a little on the pricey side and I would love to see more plan options or greater flexibility with pricing.

“simple file attachment integration

Pros

If I need a quick and simple file/image attachment feature for my forms, this tool does the job perfectly. It integrates smoothly with my existing form and I don't need to change anything on the backend. The interface is user friendly and has modest branding. I'll definitely use this again whenever a project calls for it. The API works well too.

Cons

Honestly, I can't think of much I dislike. Maybe the option to change button text, though I might have missed it if it's already possible.

“can done your work by others!

Pros

What I liked most is that someone else did all the hard work for me.

Cons

The PHP instructions are minimal. I would've liked more detail on setting up common scenarios.

“Quicker and easier file handling

Pros

Uploadcare makes handling files online so much quicker and easier. With just one tool we can upload and edit images without switching between apps.

Cons

As per me it is a solid platform as I have not run into any issues or found anything to dislike so far.

“fair pricing with extendable design

Pros

The UI/UX for end users is excellent and I think it's highly extendable for developers. The pricing is really fair as well.

Cons

Nothing really, so far it's done the job perfectly for me.

“clean interface with customization

Pros

I find the interface clean and I love the amount of customization available.

Cons

The price feels a bit high for me to handle a large quantity of files and it would be nice to have options to organize files in folders or subfolders by date or upload ID.

“easy Webflow form integration

Pros

Integrating this tool with my client's Webflow landing page form was so easy. It provided a great user experience which is essential for our lead generation.

Cons

So far, I haven't run into anything I don't like.

“Lifesaving image processing tools

Pros

Their API was simple to hook into our project. The image processing tools are a lifesaver, letting us adjust pictures on the fly without having to constantly make new thumbnail sizes myself.

Cons

We haven't had any major issues and any questions we had were covered well by the documentation.

“Works fine but not amazing

Pros

Honestly, nothing really blows me away but then again I'm not using all the fancy features. Everything I do use works just fine, no complaints from me.

Cons

I find the web widget a bit unclear, after uploading files, you have to click on the sheet of paper icon to add more and that's not obvious.

“simple image processing setup

Pros

I really like how simple the image processing is to set up. The Upload Widget is also super easy to drop into a project and just works.

Cons

Vendor lock in is a concern for me, having an open source image processing option would be really useful.

“One stop media upload solution

Pros

It's a one stop shop for handling all our media uploads which keeps things simple.

Cons

Integrating it into an existing solution was tricky because it wasn't fully compatible which slowed me down.

“best widget with great integrations

Pros

Their widget is definitely the best one I've tried. All the integrations are great and the price is better than a lot of other options out there.

Cons

There are still some UX issues in the builder in my opinion. The docs sometimes don't explain things well, auto file storing is disallowed and the app can get messy quickly.

“Plug and play upload feature

Pros

I don't have to waste time designing an upload feature from scratch. I just plug it in and it works which saves me a ton of mental energy and hours of work.

Cons

Some documentation is confusing or a bit outdated. At the time I was using it, there wasn't a React library, though I know the team is working on it.

“simple system with clear docs

Pros

Whole system is easy, professional and clean for me. The Javascript docs were well organized and actually made sense which isn't always the case for my team.

Cons

I got a bit frustrated with validation, it was more complicated than I expected. I was hoping for inline validation but it took longer to set up.

“fast image uploads for users

Pros

We can get pictures up fast without building our own special server. Being built just for images makes the whole process quick and simple which is exactly what our users want.

Cons

I wish the cover photo could load immediately so clients can visualize it before publishing.

“Helpful features for file types

Pros

It's really simple to add to any project and the features are super helpful, especially when I am dealing with lots of different file types.

Cons

Better documentation would help a lot. Sometimes I felt lost trying to find exactly what I needed.

“easy to use with strong docs

Pros

It's just easy to use. The free plan gives me more than enough to get started. The filters and image editing options are amazing. I love that I can customize it with my own button and views. You can tell it was built for developers. I didn't need to add any strange libraries or mess up my code. The documentation is clear and the community is big enough to find help when you need it.

Cons

Overall it's great but I don't like the validations API. You have to include extra methods to handle errors and validations for simple things like file type or size. It works but it should be simpler to implement.

“fantastic API for smooth integration

Pros

API is fantastic whether you're using JS or PHP. I've got it working smoothly with a Laravel backend and an Angular frontend without any headaches.

Cons

It would be nice for me to have more tutorials or videos for the PHP library and the video functionality.

“simple setup with great uX

Pros

Getting it running was simple and my development team liked working with it. The user experience is obvious so our clients were happy with how it looks and performs.

Cons

I have to download invoices manually every month and send them to accounting. I wish this could happen automatically.

“clean interface and easy service

Pros

The best part about this tool is that it's just simple and easy. I tested a bunch of other services but this was the only one that worked right for my project. I also love the clean interface which makes the whole experience better for my own users.

Cons

Very rarely, when users crop images, the generated link breaks. Since the system is constantly updated, I'm confident this will be fixed quickly.

“Works perfectly on shopify

Pros

It's very easy to use and everything is explained well. I use it on my Shopify store and it works perfectly.

Cons

The system is fast, well developed and easy to install. For me uploading from Instagram, Facebook and other platforms via mobile is simple and smooth thanks to the widget.

“Painless integration with flexible sizing

Pros

Getting it integrated was really easy for my team. Being able to serve images at any size we need on the fly has been a huge upgrade from trying to build our own hosting solution.

Cons

There have been small hiccups with the API and the JavaScript for the upload widget but the team has always been responsive when I raised concerns.

“Reliable service at fair cost

Pros

It's been reliable for everything we need it to do. The service is steady and the cost isn't bad at all. I'd tell others to check it out.

Cons

I've run into some billing inconsistencies in the past which wasn't ideal and could have been avoided.

“great tool with fast support

Pros

For three years, it's been rock great without any problems. I noticed their support team replies really fast. For me cool features like pulling images directly from Facebook or Instagram are a nice bonus.

Cons

It's not the easiest to install initially. I find it very developer centric which engineers might enjoy and the documentation is good but sometimes hard to locate.

“full API with handy plugins

Pros

They offer an HTML Widget, a full REST API and I can send everything straight to my own Amazon S3 bucket. The documentation is good and they even have a handy Wordpress plugin.

Cons

The WordPress widget is still missing a few features but the current plugin is sufficient for me to continue working without issues.
