Case Study: Moviepilot achieves 40% bandwidth reduction and $84,000 annual cost savings with Cloudinary

Cloudinary Takes Starring Role Enabling Moviepilot to Shine Spotlight on Core Business

Moviepilot is a media and social publishing platform that brings together movie and TV fans, attracting more than 20 million unique visitors per month (about 87% on mobile) and enabling user-generated articles and videos for a global audience. Rapid growth, heavy use of images and GIFs, and the need for CDN delivery meant the team was spending too much time managing infrastructure and image processing instead of focusing on content and product innovation.

Moviepilot selected Cloudinary for its easy, URL-based API and straightforward integration so users upload directly to Cloudinary and images are optimized and served via CDNs. Cloudinary has processed over 1 million images, converted GIFs to MP4/WEBM, cut bandwidth by about 40%, and helped Moviepilot save roughly $84,000 a year while freeing developer time to work on new features.
