Where are Cloudflare Images stored?
I use R2 for image storage and come across cloudflare images transformation solution. I’m thinking of using it instead of Vercel’s image transformation but I’m unsure how it works. If I store my images in R2 and run the loader/transformer against cloudflare, where will the the transformed sizes/images be stored?
Also, I don’t get the purpose of cloudflare images storage. How is it different from using R2 storage and the images service for transformation only?

Afaik they dont do any permanent storage for transformed images its on demand but potentially cached for a few hours depending on demand for the specific transformed image.
And there is not really much of a difference between using R2 to store the images yourself or using the Images service to store them. Mostly just a managed api dedicated to image storage vs a generic object storage and you make the apis yourself.
