Hi all! It’s hard to believe that September is almost here. The summer always seems to slip by so fast. If you spent this month out enjoying some of the summer weather instead of checking the latest in the community, this update will get you back up to speed!

Resource of the Month: Introduction to Cloudinary’s iOS SDK

New Feature of the Month: Improved Image Upscaling

We’ve made our image upscaling feature even better, with improved resolution and clarity of images, making them suitable for high-quality displays and prints. The maximum image size limit for upscaling is now 2048x2048 pixels (4.2MP), a major increase from the former limit of 0.25MP. This allows for the upscaling of larger images while maintaining the same 4x upscaling factor for enhanced detail.
