The Images binding is a new feature introduced by Cloudflare to connect its Images API directly to Workers, enabling developers to transform, overlay, and encode images within the Cloudflare Developer Platform ecosystem. This binding removes unnecessary friction from application development by allowing developers to work more productively with images. It supports functions such as .transform(), .draw(), .output(), and .info() that can be used to manipulate images. The binding works by establishing a communication channel between a Worker and its backend services, making it easier for developers to build scalable and cost-effective image pipelines. Additionally, the binding is available in local development mode without incurring any usage charges, allowing developers to test and debug their applications more efficiently.
