Techniques

Implementing Responsive Images
When developing a website, implementing responsive designs means handling responsive images, the ones that can adapt to user devices and browsers. Uploadcare Image Transformations help you prepare a virtually infinite number of image versions to use with Responsive Images.
Watermarks, Build Cover for Your Images
Quite often we see that some image on the web is protected with watermarks (i.e., logos or symbols applied over it). One way to watermark an image is to use an image processing software in manual or automatic mode. Another way is a near-real-time on-demand image processing — a concept we cultivate within our CDN.
Migrating
Migrating Images from Filestack
Even though our Migro utility does a good job migrating your files from Filestack to Uploadcare, image transformations are a bit more complicated to transfer. This article holds a mapping of Filestack image transformation operations to the Uploadcare ones. We also provide some migration practices and visual examples.
