Automatic image optimization
Let our AI analyze an image and set the correct compression level just before visual artifacts appear.

Search engine indexing control
If you turn off indexing, Uploadcare adds response headers to restrict indexing of images and text, making sure your files don’t turn up in search or impact your overall SEO.
Signed URLs
Grant access to specific files or file versions. Signed URLs contain authentication tokens that give access only ones with the link. Requires CDN CNAME.

Frequently asked questions

01
What are Operations?

Operations are various actions associated with your files and API usage. Actions like uploading a file, making requests, or requesting transformations on your images are considered operations. Different actions have different operation costs, If you’re curious about more information on how operations are calculated you can read this article.

02
What counts as Traffic?

In Uploadcare, "Traffic" refers to the amount of data transferred from Uploadcare’s servers toward your end-users, especially when you fetch files via Uploadcare’s Content Delivery Network (CDN). Every time an image, video, or any other file is retrieved and delivered to your users, that data transfer is counted as CDN traffic.


Uploadcare offers image and video optimization tools, which are quite handy because they help you significantly reduce your traffic usage. By optimizing your files, you’re essentially reducing the file size without noticeably affecting the quality, meaning less data needs to be transferred, hence, less traffic used.

03
What counts as Storage?

When it comes to Storage in Uploadcare, it’s all about the total size of the original files stored in your account. This includes every single image, video, document, or other type of file that you’ve uploaded to Uploadcare. Unlike in some other systems, only the original versions of your files count towards your storage — not any transformations or alterations you might have made.


It’s important to note that this metric is cumulative, meaning it adds up over time. The storage counter doesn’t reset at the start of a new billing cycle.

04
Can I use the Demo plan for free?

Yes, the Demo plan is free of charge. It is designed to allow users to explore and experience the features and capabilities of Uploadcare without any cost. However, it’s important to note that the Demo plan may have certain limitations compared to our paid subscription plans. If you require additional information about the specific features and limitations of the Demo plan, feel free to contact Uploadcare’s sales team.

05
What happens if my Demo plan limit is reached?

The Demo plan is meant to give you a taste of Uploadcare’s features for free, but going over the limits will result in a suspension until the next month begins. To avoid any interruptions in your account, we suggest upgrading to one of our paid plans. This will provide you with more generous limits and ensure uninterrupted usage.

06
How do you charge me? When will I get billed?

We charge for our services through a subscription model. There are two types of fees: Subscription Fees and Usage Fees. The Subscription Fee is paid upfront when you sign up and covers a certain amount of usage for the chosen monthly or annual period.


If you exceed the allowed usage limits in your subscription plan, we will charge Usage Fees at the end of each month.


For more detailed information on the terms and conditions, including the Order Form, taxes, and refund policies, please refer to the full terms of service provided by Uploadcare.

07
What happens if I go over my paid plan’s limits?

Uploadcare operates on a soft limits basis, this means you won’t be immediately cut off or charged extra fees without warning. Instead, Uploadcare will notify you and ask that you consider upgrading to a plan better suited to your usage needs.


It’s a friendly reminder, to give you the chance to assess your needs and make the right decision for your project. If you have more specific questions or require assistance to understand your usage and select an appropriate plan, feel free to contact Uploadcare’s sales team.

08
Which payment methods do you support?
