Release notes

Uploads from Instagram deprecated

{widget}

As of December 4, 2024, uploads from public Instagram accounts via File Uploader and jQuery Uploader are no longer supported. This change is due to Meta’s decision to discontinue the Instagram Basic Display API for external developers.

All other upload methods and sources, including Facebook, Google Photos, Dropbox, and more, continue to work as usual.

Analytics section updates

{dashboard}

We’ve improved the Analytics section in the Dashboard:

• Overview tiles were added on the top of the section.
• A new period picker lets you filter data by 30, 60, 90 days or billing period.
• The graph of popular files has become a graph of popular URLs. Now, it shows transactions and warns about unoptimized distribution.

Recording video from the camera

{widget}

Added camera video recording functionality for the camera source:

• Settings to turn on and off sources: photo, video, or both.
• Settings to select the default photo/video source.
• Settings to choose the video source and audio source.
• Enable/disable audio recording during recording (e.g. mute the microphone).
• Preview the recorded video before uploading.
• Settings to select the maximum video duration with a countdown timer.

BlurHash

{cdn}

We’ve added a blurhash field to the -/json/ operation output. Along with the image width and height in the same output, this allows for highly smooth image placeholders on pages and apps.

Crop solid background
