Upload Images to R2 by URL

Hacker News

I recently ran into an interesting challenge while building Next Idea NewTab. The app needs to display logos from various third-party websites, and initially, I was using Google's favicon service. However, users from some countries reported they couldn't access Google's services, resulting in broken logos. Looking for a solution, I decided to incorporate Cloudflare R2 into my workflow. That's how Image URL Converter was born - a simple tool that lets you paste an image URL and automatically uploads it to R2. You can either use the UI directly or integrate the API into your own projects. Now all images in Next Idea NewTab are served through R2, ensuring stable access globally. No more broken images!
