Optimize and transform images for the web
Serving images at multiple sizes and formats traditionally requires pre-generating variants for every resolution and device. Cloudflare Images transforms images on-the-fly via URL parameters — resizing, cropping, and converting to WebP or AVIF — while Polish compresses originals without visible quality loss.
