Use Cloudflare Images for external URLs in Next.js

[ji11]

I built a new app in Next.js and it is hosted on Vercel but their image optimization gets expensive with scale.

I’m looking for a new solution. The app displays images from external URLs that I do not control.

Can Cloudflare Images optimize images displayed from external URLs?

Yes, we can. Take a look at Image Resizing product. It allows resizing from any origins Cloudflare Image Resizing · Cloudflare Image Optimization docs

Image optimization can work with external URLs that aren’t the same domain that we don’t have control over?

Any docs about this?

[asemiglazov]

Yes, it can. You will need to enable Resize images from any origin checkbox for your zone.
