Blocks 0.47.0

{BREAKING} {widget}

We’ve updated the File Uploader configurator (disabled color picker, auto theme toggle).

All the API methods described at File Uploader API have been removed from the lr-upload-ctx-provider block, so they are no longer available directly. Now, they are available at the Uploader API instance which you can get using the getAPI() method of the lr-upload-ctx-provider block.

https://uploadcare.com/docs/file-uploader/migration-to-0.47.0/

SSO support

{dashboard}

Uploadcare now supports SSO with Okta. This feature allows seamless integration with your existing Okta setup, providing a secure way to handle sign-ins.

SOC 2 Type 2 compliance 2024

{compliance}

Uploadcare has renewed SOC 2 Type 2 compliance in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) standards for SOC for Service Organizations also known as SSAE 18.

CDN updates

{cdn} {image processing}

  • Previously, when -/format/ was not specified, we attempted to preserve the original image format (e.g., providing PNG if the original was PNG). Now, we choose a format based on the content. If the image appears to be an illustration, PNG will be used. Please note that you still need to explicitly specify -/format/auto/ for AVIF and WebP output.
  • New option -/format/preserve/ is added.

AVIF compression quality and “sharp YUV” technique

{image processing}

We have improved our AVIF compression quality. This affects all produced AVIFs but is most noticeable on low bitrates. Average image size should not be affected.

We have also enabled the “sharp YUV” technique for -/quality/lightest/ AVIFs, which could significantly reduce red channel distortion during chroma subsampling. This affects the resulting size only for images that benefit considerably from this technique.

https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/compression/#operation-quality

New webhook events and updates to the payload structure

{api}

We’ve updated our webhooks API to help you easily identify what caused an event.

New webhook events:

  • file.info_updated
  • file.stored
  • file.deleted

New payload element:

  • initiator

file.info_updated is fired when metadata or appdata has been altered. initiator contains a “link” to the entity that initiated the webhook.

Unsafe content detection

https://uploadcare.com/docs/unsafe-content/

Blocks 0.25 — new configuration approach

{BREAKING} {widget} {js} {integrations}

The new version of Blocks (the library that powers our Uploader) is now featuring configuration via HTML attributes and DOM properties. We’re introducing the new lr-config block specifically designed for this purpose. Configuration in CSS is now deprecated (although it currently works, it will be removed shortly). Find the migration guide in the release notes.

Server-side MIME type filtering

{dashboard}

Meta information control

{image processing}

The original image often comes with additional information built into the image file. In most cases, this information doesn’t affect image rendering and thus can be safely stripped from the processed images. You can control image processing behavior with this option. This could be helpful if you want to keep the original or modified metadata in the processed image.

/strip_meta/all/
-/strip_meta/none/
-/strip_meta/sensitive/

View details about your API requests, responses, and errors. Useful for diagnosis, analysis, and monitoring.

Smart quality by default

{image processing}

When processing images, the result will be encoded to the new image on the fly. The compression operations allow you to control this process. The default quality for all processed images is “smart” from now on.

Smart quality modes analyze input images using content-aware algorithms to determine maximum compression that won’t cause noticeable visual artifacts. This new default is a huge change which could be a game changer for customers with a ton of traffic.

-/crop/:aspect_ratio/ and -/crop/:tag/ operations

{image processing}

Now you can crop images by ratio, by an object, or combine these features together.

Crop by aspect ratio crops the image to the specified aspect ratio, cutting off the rest of the image. Crop by object crops the image to the object specified by the :tag parameter (possible values: face or image). The found object fits into the given aspect ratio if :aspect_ratio is specified.

https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-crop-aspect-ratio https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-crop-tags

-/zoom_objects/ operation

{image processing}

As a result of the operation, the object’s size in the image will change. The resolution of the image after the operation will remain the same. For example, an object in an image with applied operation -/zoom_objects/100/ is the object that occupies the maximum area of this image. It is best suited for images with solid or uniform backgrounds.

https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/resize-crop/#operation-zoom-objects

Geometry operations for SVG images

{image processing}

Geometric operations (preview, resize, crop, scale_crop) now change SVG attributes and work as expected.

{image processing}

From now on, we analyze the actual file content, not the MIME type. That means that users can now upload SVG files via File Uploader with the imagesOnly option turned on. It also means that accounts without payment details can upload & deliver SVG files. CDN operations work with SVG files, but won’t affect these content yet. We’ll be adding basic resize and crop operations support for SVG images later.

Added:

  • Generate an english-only bundle that imports the correct uploadcare.lang.en.js bundle.
  • Generate a minified english-only bundle that imports the correct uploadcare.lang.en.min.js bundle.

Fixed:

  • Call previewUrlCallback before rendering crop effect.
  • Update the existing minified bundle so that it imports the correct uploadcare.min.js bundle.

Search engine file indexing for new projects is off by default

{projects}

To increase the privacy of your and your users’ data, we have changed the default behavior for every Uploadcare project, created after March, 10th. We’re adding response headers that instruct search engines not to index file contents. You can toggle this behavior separately for each project in your Dashboard.

On-the-fly image processing updates

{image processing}

  • Now we choose JPEG format for images with totally opaque alpha channel if -/format/auto/ is used and WebP is not available.
  • When the original image is a low-quality JPEG and we need to re-encode it to another format (WebP for instance), we limit the output image’s quality by the original image quality approximation.
  • When the original image is a low-quality JPEG and we need to encode it as JPEG, we reduce the output image’s quality more accurate than before.
  • Face detection for small sized faces is improved.

Perceptual hash for images

{image processing}

File info response includes a value of a perceptual hash calculated using pixel contents of an image. Perceptual hashing is a common fingerprinting technique to quickly compare images and find duplicates or similar images.
