# Image Hosting with Cloudflare R2

Cloudflare R2 is an S3-compatible cloud storage service that allows users to
store arbitrary objects and access them via HTTP APIs. With R2, we can build
an image hosting platform for storing and sharing images.

## Features

- Store unlimited objects
- S3 API compatible
- **Zero egress fees**
- Free 10GB storage tier

## Steps

1. Register a Cloudflare account
2. Create an R2 bucket
3. Configure access permissions
4. Upload images
5. Get image URLs

## Plan Comparison

| Feature | Free Tier | Paid Tier |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Storage | 10GB | Unlimited |
| Egress | Free | Free |
| Requests | 100K/day | Unlimited |

## Sample Code

```typescript
import { S3Client } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";

const s3 = new S3Client({
  region: "auto",
  endpoint: "https://<account-id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com",
  credentials: {
accessKeyId: "<access-key-id>",
secretAccessKey: "<secret-access-key>",
  },
});
```
