Portfolium helps students and alumni showcase skills through rich, visual portfolios. The platform serves an international network of 180+ universities and community colleges, supporting 2.5M+ users who upload projects with multiple images. To keep browsing fast across devices, Portfolium needed a reliable way to resize and deliver images in many formats.
"Cloudimage ersparte uns nicht nur stundenlange Entwicklungsarbeit, um unsere eigene Lösung für die Verarbeitung dynamischer Bilder zu schreiben, sondern auch stundenlange Integrationsarbeit, da sie an nur einem Tag erledigt war."

Portfolium’s users can upload unlimited projects, often with multiple images per project. To deliver a smooth browsing experience, almost every image must be resized into at least six form factors so it looks right on laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. At the same time, the user base already exceeds 2.5 million and is expected to grow rapidly, pushing the limits of image processing and delivery. The team needed to scale infrastructure and workflows without adding operational burden.
Portfolium selected Cloudimage to handle on‑the‑fly image resizing and delivery. The team could test and understand the service immediately, using sample URLs without heavy setup or SDKs. Implementation was completed in one day, eliminating weeks of custom development to build and maintain a home‑grown solution. With CDN‑backed delivery and a simple interface, Cloudimage provided a scalable path to serve multiple form factors and absorb traffic surges without complex integrations.
With Cloudimage in place, Portfolium avoided extensive engineering work for dynamic images and reduced integration time to a single day. The platform now resizes and delivers images across the required form factors, keeping browsing fast on any device. Cloudimage’s cost‑effective, simple, and scalable approach supports the existing 2.5M+ users while preparing for future growth, freeing Portfolium’s team to focus on product improvements instead of image infrastructure.
