Cloudinary and images

Image hosting requirements for CRISP, including Instagram publishing constraints.

CRISP uses Cloudinary to host images and provide stable, HTTPS-accessible URLs for platforms that require media.

Who this page is for

  • Users uploading images for posts
  • Operators validating that image URLs are stable and platform-compatible

Why Cloudinary is used

  • Stable, cache-friendly media URLs
  • HTTPS by default
  • Suitable for platform API requirements (e.g. Instagram image publishing)

Constraints and edge cases

  • Instagram publishing requires an image (Phase 1 Meta publishing).
  • Upload size and format constraints may apply (JPG/PNG/WebP).
  • The exact image requirements can vary by platform and can change over time.
