---|---|---|
Processing steps |
Multiple steps are required, including download, editing, and upload, which are time-consuming and laborious. |
You can directly complete all image editing processes in the cloud with no need to upload and download images. |
Operation method |
Image editing software is difficult to use and requires a mastery of certain image editing skills. |
You can specify the image editing parameters in the URL in real time, which is easy to get started with. |
Access speed |
Image access and download through cloud storage URLs are slow, affecting the user experience. |
VOD uses CDN to accelerate global image delivery, so that you can get the processed images in very little time. |
Use Case | Description |
---|---|
User profile photo |
User profile photos are generally round or square images with the same resolution. You can use scaling and cropping to generate them. |
Identity document photos |
When a photo of an identity document is taken, it may need to be cropped to retain only the identity information part of the document. |
Image close-up |
When the key part in an image requires a close-up, it needs to be cropped from the image. |
