Absolutely. It’s not a trial, and it’s free forever. Gumlet’s Free Plan comes with 100 minutes of storage, 250 GB streaming, basic analytics, privacy controls, and the ability to customize the player to match the look and feel of your brand.
Can I use Gumlet for live streaming?
Yes! Live streaming is now available on all plans. Each tier includes a set number of live streaming minutes from 250 to 10,000, so you can go live in high quality with low latency and strong security.
What if I exceed the bandwidth or storage limits in my Free or Paid video plans?
**Creator** and **Professional** video plans offer unlimited streaming bandwidth to help you scale without worrying about bandwidth as your business grows. All plans have a storage limit. Exceeding the storage limit requires you to upgrade your current plan to a higher plan. Check the pricing table for storage limits.
Is unlimited streaming in the creator and professional plan truly unlimited?
Yes! Creator and professional plans have limits on storage minutes, but streaming bandwidth is unlimited. This allows you to scale your videos as your business grows without worrying about bandwidth limits.
What is a "Storage Minute" and how is it calculated?
A "Storage Minute" is the amount of storage used for each minute of video. For example, if a video is 10 minutes long, it counts as 10 storage minutes. It’s a way to measure storage based on video length rather than file size. This way, you can upload higher resolution videos without compromising on your storage limits. We only count storage minutes for the original video during upload. If you exceed the storage included in your plan, you’ll need to upgrade your plan. Contact us for details on the Enterprise plan if you need additional features or more storage.
How is video streaming bandwidth calculated?
Bandwidth is based on how much video data is streamed. Higher resolutions use more data; if multiple quality levels are available, more may be streamed. Autoplay and preload settings can also increase usage. With unlimited streaming available on Creator and Professional plans, there is no need to worry about video streaming bandwidth limits.
Do you charge for storage?
No, we don’t charge for storing or caching your optimized images and videos. All plans include unlimited cache storage. We only charge for the storage minutes for the videos uploaded, not to keep the videos stored on Gumlet.
Can I upload any content to Gumlet?
No, we prohibit uploading copyrighted and adult content. If we receive a copyright complaint, the content will be removed after providing a timely notice to the uploader.
Do you offer Custom domains?
Yes, you can easily set up custom domains from your dashboard. The Image Growth plan includes 2 custom domains. For video, custom CNAMEs are available on all plans at $5/month each. Additional image domains can also be added for $5/month.
What should I do if I need more team members?
To add more team members, you will need to upgrade to a Business or Enterprise plan. For Enterprise inquiries, please contact us directly for customized solutions.
Is Gumlet’s video analytics free?
Yes, analytics are free for all customers using Gumlet’s video streaming service. Get insights into your video performance at no extra cost with Gumlet’s player.
Do team members share storage, and is there a user limit?
Yes, storage is shared among team members for efficient collaboration. Each plan has a user limit, and you can add more users by upgrading or contacting support.
What happens to my videos if I cancel my plan?
You can cancel anytime, and your plan stays active until the end of the billing cycle. After that, your videos remain safe within the dashboard, giving you time to download them or reactivate your plan.
Does Gumlet store my data?
Gumlet stores video views and other analytics data to provide you detailed analysis of how your videos are doing. At Gumlet, we believe privacy is the most important, so you can disable collecting analytics data in the collection settings [here.](https://dashboard.gumlet.com/video/collections)
How is the bandwidth charge calculated?
We calculate bandwidth as the amount of data transferred from our CDN to your users. You will be charged per GB for overages above your current plan. We do not charge for requests, transformations, caching, or storage separately.
Can I store my original images with Gumlet?
We don't support image storage. You can choose any file storage service, such as Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, DigitalOcean Spaces, or any other storage. This way, you also retain full control over your original images and won't have to worry about losing them.
What happens if my original image is modified?
We cache your original image for 3 months, so we will continue to serve cached images. You need to clear the cache through the dashboard or API to reflect the change in your original image.
I am storing my original images in Amazon S3. Will Amazon charge me each time you fetch the original image?
After fetching it for the first time, we always cache your original image in our local cache. This means if your 1 MB image is resized 3 times, Amazon S3 will only charge you for 1 MB data transfer and 1 single request. Subsequent resize operations will be performed on the cached image.
What happens if my original image is deleted?
We cache your original image for a maximum of 3 months. After that, If we need to revalidate it, it will show a 404 error. If you flush the cache after deleting the original image, it will show a 404 error for that image.
Is there any limit on the input file?
We support input images with a maximum size of 8192x8192 pixels in the following formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, JPEG-XL, TIFF, PDF, GIF, SVG, RAW, HEIF, and AVIF.
How are processed images stored?
We store processed images in our cache and in the CDN cache. This ensures that if an image has already been generated, no extra time is spent delivering it.
What is the maximum output image size?
We support a maximum output image size of 8192 x 8192 pixels. You can export images in various formats such as JPEG, PNG, JPEG-XL, WebP, TIFF, GIF, SVG, RAW, HEIF, and AVIF.
Can serving images from Gumlet CDN (or third-party CDN) be SEO-negative?
No, it will be beneficial. Our system marks your images as originating from your website via HTTP headers. Search engines look at that header and will associate those images with your website even if the URL points to Gumlet.
We instruct search engines about the location of original images, so they always attribute your image to your site rather than to our CDN, for a positive SEO impact.
Is there a limit to how many variants of an image I can create? Can I use my own storage or CDN?
You can generate unlimited variants of an image (sizes, formats, or transformations) on the fly, and only the original image counts toward your storage quota. Additionally, if you're on a Business or Enterprise plan, you can connect Gumlet to your storage service (like S3 or GCS) and use your CDN for streaming.
