Contentful integration, October 10
{integrations}
Contentful is a headless CMS that allows users to create, manage, and distribute content across multiple channels. Uploadcare provides a Contentful app that allows you to upload files to your Uploadcare account via File Uploader and store the metadata in Contentful.
CDN updates, October 9
{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.

Update to Swift lib:
- Now, all methods support Swift Concurrency (async-await).

AVIF compression quality and “sharp YUV” technique, August 10
{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/
and -/quality/smart_retina/
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, August 1
{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

initiator
file.info_updated
is fired when metadata
or appdata
has been altered.
initiator

Week 11
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/
https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/compression/#meta-information-control

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.
https://uploadcare.com/docs/transformations/image/compression/#operation-quality
Week 4
New GIF to video operations

Week 51
-/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

Week 21
Now SVG files are identified as images
{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.

Week 9
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

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.
