The Imgur plugin allows users to upload images to Imgur directly from Obsidian, helping to reduce the size of local vaults. It supports both anonymous and authenticated uploads, giving users the option to link images to their Imgur account or keep them private. Users can upload images by pasting from the clipboard or dragging files into their notes. The plugin supports animated GIFs during drag-and-drop uploads and makes it easier to share notes with images, as only a single file needs to be shared. By uploading images remotely, users avoid cluttering their vault with image files and can also reduce the size of cloud backups or git repositories. This is particularly useful for users who frequently add screenshots or images to their notes, such as students or researchers.

The Cloudinary Uploader plugin enables Obsidian users to automatically upload images, audio, video, and other raw files directly to their Cloudinary cloud storage account instead of saving them locally. It streamlines media handling by instantly uploading pasted media to a pre-configured Cloudinary folder, supporting both single-file and multi-file uploads. Users can also set default transformation parameters for media files, allowing for on-the-fly adjustments like resizing, cropping, or applying filters, all managed via Cloudinary's URL-based API. The plugin prioritizes security by using unsigned uploads, avoiding the need to input sensitive API keys. Customizable settings include the ability to configure a Cloudinary Cloud Name, upload preset, and default folder location, giving users control over how and where their files are stored and accessed.
