-The platform leverages **Cloudinary** for cloud-based image and video storage and transformation. Original files are uploaded to Cloudinary, which then automatically generates transformation URLs for various platform-specific formats (e.g., Facebook Feed: 1200x630px, Instagram Feed: 1080x1080px, Instagram Story: 1080x1920px). These public IDs and transformation URLs are stored in the database, allowing optimized images to be served via Cloudinary's CDN.
