I'm having a tough time uploading images to Cloudinary and integrating the image URL into my database. I really don't know where to start and the documentation isn't very helpful. I usually get the images from an input type file, so any advice on how to get this going would be appreciated. Thanks!

The method you choose to upload depends on your setup. If the file is in a specific folder, you can use the Cloudinary SDK to refer directly to the file URL. However, if you're uploading from the frontend, you might need to convert the image to base64 before uploading it to Cloudinary along with related metadata.
Are you using Cloudinary with Express? I can give you some pointers on how that works if you're interested!
I actually just found out how to implement it!
Hey! I run a platform called Re-Image, which is a simpler alternative to Cloudinary. If you're interested, I can help you set it up. It's easier to manage and offers a free tier too!
Thank you for the offer! I just figured out how to implement it. Again, thank you!
Wait, why would I need to convert it to base64? That's confusing!
