Image Resizing is technically a separate product, so I apologize if this is off-topic, but it appears to be missing the most useful `fit` mode – something like `fit=cover-scale-down`. I never want to enlarge an image on the server, since I can do that client-side. If I request a version with the dimensions 512×512 (square), but the source image is only 400×600, there should be a way to get a resulting image of 400×40…
Every point the author says is 100% correct. I'll add one more point, which ended up making it a total non-starter: you can't import lots of images because their rate limits are so pernicious. If you have tens of thousands or millions of images, keeping within their single digit per second rate limit, which appears to be totally non-negotiable, makes it impossible to add images at any scale.
They have another product called Cloudflare Images which can work from Workers: but here the pricing is almost absurd and from the data they show on their dashboard, they only cache a tiny percentage of the requests. This means you end up paying a lot more than makes sense.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm on the CF Images product team. We will allow the download of the original images, it is actually one of the next features coming up. Also we will introduce webhooks and Images Analytics next.

We were charged $10k for the first month of use and immediately reverted the implementation. CF was kind enough to refund us since we're still an early stage co. It would be great if pricing was more reasonable
I remember there was another article about image uploads and content moderation (here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28684250 ), essentially saying that if you create a open uploading service, you WILL start getting lots of spammy images / abuse. CF Images always seems like a LOT more $$ than other image hosting tools out there. What other service did you end up going with?

The nearest competitor is likely over 10x more (Caveat: For the workloads I've applied this on).

But surely pricing and analytics is something that needs to be resolved.
Link a repo from GitHub then change the name of your GitHub repo and the pages breaks but won't let you relink your Github repo anywhere.
I opened a ticket with support. I have gotten no where in two months (Opened on October 7th 2021).
We ended up switching to Netlify that has a more mature product.
In case someone from Cloudflare cares to investigate this is request ID# 2275043 in your support system.
