Bind the Images API to your Worker

You can now interact with the Images API directly in your Worker.

This allows more fine-grained control over transformation request flows and cache behavior. For example, you can resize, manipulate, and overlay images without requiring them to be accessible through a URL.

The Images binding can be configured in the Cloudflare dashboard for your Worker or in the Wrangler configuration file in your project's directory:

{
	"images": {
		"binding": "IMAGES", // i.e. available in your Worker on env.IMAGES
	},
}

[images]
binding = "IMAGES"

Within your Worker code, you can interact with this binding by using env.IMAGES.

Here's how you can rotate, resize, and blur an image, then output the image as AVIF:

const info = await env.IMAGES.info(stream);
// stream contains a valid image, and width/height is available on the info object

const response = (
	await env.IMAGES.input(stream)
		.transform({ rotate: 90 })
		.transform({ width: 128 })
		.transform({ blur: 20 })
		.output({ format: "image/avif" })
).response();

return response;
