What are the best free image CDN solutions available? I am an individual developer looking for a free image CDN with a generous free tier and easy scalability for future needs. I tried using CloudFlare, which is indeed free and offers high-quality service, but unfortunately, its image storage requires payment. As a result, I have to use other cloud storage services to store my images. Currently, my clients are mainly in Asia, with a small number from Europe and America. I also tried using Netlify’s services, but its free tier is not large enough, and I have to pay to meet my needs. At the moment, I am using Tencent Cloud’s COS service to store images in Asia, but its free tier only lasts for six months and must be paired with Tencent Cloud’s Edgeone for acceleration. Are there any experienced individuals who can recommend a better free image CDN solution?
Well, for starters…
You havent told us what your needs are…
Hello, I appreciate your interest in my inquiry. I’m looking for an image CDN solution that has a generous free tier, delivers excellent global service, and allows for quick scalability in the future. This is what I’m seeking.
Hello @tomcomtang,
This hasn’t answered m_hutley’s question. It’s vague marketing speak. Can you be a bit more specific about your project or projects?
or even just… yaknow… size?
You complained about Netlify because its free tier isnt ‘large enough’, but how do you expect anyone to be able to offer a suggestion without knowing how ‘large’, ‘large enough’ is? (or, for that matter, if what you’re looking for is unrealistic for a free solution.)
I conducted thorough research on CDN providers like Netlify and Cloudflare and found that expecting a perfect free image CDN solution is simply unrealistic. If good service is required, paying for it is unavoidable. Additionally, I consulted friends who are well-versed in CDN, and they provided me with valuable advice. I discovered that using Cloudflare’s free CDN service while utilizing another CDN provider that offers free image storage quotas seems to be the best solution. In the future, I may switch entirely to Cloudflare, depending on the traffic volume of the business. I appreciate the input from my friends who answered my questions. Thank you all!
