Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

The cloudinary_public package enables direct media uploads to Cloudinary from Flutter apps, eliminating the need to expose sensitive API keys. It securely handles authentication by using unsigned upload presets, allowing clients to upload files directly while maintaining server-side security. Ideal for applications requiring user-generated content, such as photo sharing or profile picture uploads. The package supports multiple platforms including Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Use cases

  • Direct file uploads from mobile apps
  • User-generated content storage
  • Profile picture uploads
  • Image and video management
  • Secure media handling without exposing credentials

Key features

  • No exposure of API keys
  • Supports unsigned upload presets
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Simple integration with Cloudinary
  • Real-time upload progress tracking

Suitable for

  • Mobile apps with media uploads
  • Apps needing secure file transfers
  • Developers avoiding backend authentication
  • Projects using Cloudinary for media storage
  • Frontend-only media handling

Considerations

  • Requires Cloudinary upload preset setup
  • Limited to unsigned uploads
  • Depends on Cloudinary's free tier or paid plan
  • Not suitable for private or restricted media
  • Must configure Cloudinary dashboard properly

Build Status Coverage Status

This package allows you to upload media files directly to cloudinary, without exposing your apiKey or secretKey.

Getting started

Add the dependency cloudinary_public: ^0.23.1 to your project:

import 'package:cloudinary_public/cloudinary_public.dart';

final cloudinary = CloudinaryPublic('CLOUD_NAME', 'UPLOAD_PRESET', cache: false);

Check https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#unsigned_upload on how to create an upload preset.

Using Image Picker Plugin
var image = await ImagePicker.pickImage(source: ImageSource.camera);

try {
    CloudinaryResponse response = await cloudinary.uploadFile(
        CloudinaryFile.fromFile(image.path, resourceType: CloudinaryResourceType.Image),
    );
    
    print(response.secureUrl);
} on CloudinaryException catch (e) {
  print(e.message);
  print(e.request);
}
Using Multi Image Picker Plugin
final images = await MultiImagePicker.pickImages(maxImages: 4);

List<CloudinaryResponse> uploadedImages = await cloudinary.multiUpload(
images
    .map(
      (image) => CloudinaryFile.fromFutureByteData(
        image.getByteData(),
        identifier: image.identifier,
      ),
    )
    .toList(),
);

print(uploadedImages[0].secureUrl);

Image Transformation

// CloudinaryImage
final cloudinaryImage = CloudinaryImage('https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/front_face.png');
// or using the image public id
final cloudinaryImage = cloudinary.getImage('front_face');

final String url = cloudinaryImage.transform().width(150).height(150).gravity('face').crop('thumb').generate();
// or using the shortcut
final String url = cloudinaryImage.thumbnail(width: 150, height: 150).generate();


// Chain example
final url = cloudinaryImage.transform()
    .width(150)
    .height(150)
    .gravity('face')
    .crop('thumb')
    .chain()
    .radius(20)
    .chain()
    .effect('sepia')
    .chain()
    .overlay(cloudinary.getImage('cloudinary_icon'))
    .gravity('south_east')
    .x(5)
    .y(5)
    .width(50)
    .opacity(60)
    .effect('brightness:200')
    .chain()
    .angle(10)
    .generate();
// generates
// https://res.cloudinary.com/demo/image/upload/c_thumb,g_face,h_150,w_150/r_20/e_sepia/e_brightness:200,g_south_east,l_cloudinary_icon,o_60,w_50,x_5,y_5/a_10/front_face.png

Upload Progress

final res = await cloudinary.uploadFile(
  CloudinaryFile.fromFile(
    _pickedFile.path,
    folder: 'hello-folder',
    context: {
      'alt': 'Hello',
      'caption': 'An example image',
    },
  ),
  onProgress: (count, total) {
    setState(() {
      _uploadingPercentage = (count / total) * 100;
    });
  },
);

Upload In Chunks

Use chunked upload when file size is more then 100 Megabytes.

By default, the chunk size is set to 20 Megabytes but can be set to as low as 5 Megabytes by using the chunk_size parameter.

Source: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/upload_images#chunked_asset_upload

final res = await cloudinary.uploadFileInChunks(
  CloudinaryFile.fromFile(
    _pickedFile.path,
    folder: 'hello-folder',
    context: {
      'alt': 'Hello',
      'caption': 'An example upload in chunks',
    },
  ),
  chunkSize: 10000000
  onProgress: (count, total) {
    setState(() {
      _uploadingPercentage = (count / total) * 100;
    });
  },
);
