How Do I Upload Images to Cloudinary and Save the URL in My Database?
Asked by

I've been struggling to upload images to Cloudinary and then insert the image URLs into my database. I'm not sure where to begin, and honestly, the documentation isn't very helpful. I typically get the images from an input type file. Any advice on how to kickstart this process would be appreciated! Thanks!

If you're looking to upload directly from a local file, you can reference the file URL if it's in a specific folder and use the Cloudinary SDK to upload it. If you're doing it from the frontend, you'll likely need to convert it to Base64 before uploading. It might sound complicated, but that’s usually how it works! Let me know if you need more details on this.

CuriousCoder88: Wait, creating a Base64 version is necessary? Can you explain why that’s the route to take?
