# Image to CDN

> Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF via dashboard or API. Get a public CDN URL on Cloudflare edge. Free plan available.

Upload an image and get a public CDN URL you can paste into an img tag, a CMS field, an email, or your app. Files are stored and served exactly as uploaded from Cloudflare's global edge — no conversion, resizing, or compression step.

## How image upload works

From image file to shareable CDN link in seconds.

- Drop or select an image — try it without signing up; guest uploads support JPG, PNG, WebP, and more up to 16 MB.
- Get your CDN URL instantly — every upload returns a public URL served from Cloudflare's global edge.
- Embed or share anywhere — use the URL in img tags, CMS fields, emails, Slack, or your app's image picker.
- Automate with the API — POST the same file from curl, n8n, Zapier, or your backend.

## Supported image formats

Common image types — upload as-is, no conversion.

- JPG / JPEG (image/jpeg)
- PNG (image/png)
- WebP (image/webp)
- GIF (image/gif)
- SVG (image/svg+xml)
- AVIF (image/avif)

## Upload images via API

One POST request — get a public image URL in the response.

- POST multipart/form-data to https://api.droptocdn.com/v1/files with an Authorization: Bearer dtc_… header.
- The response returns id, url, expires_at, size, mime_type, and original_name.
- Use the same endpoint from curl, n8n, Zapier, Make, Activepieces, or your own backend.

## Image CDN use cases

Where teams use image-to-CDN workflows.

- CMS and marketing assets: upload hero images, blog thumbnails, or product photos and paste the CDN URL into any content field.
- User-generated content: accept avatars or uploads in your app, store the returned URL, and serve globally.
- Workflow automation: generate images in n8n or another tool, upload, and pass the public link to the next step.

## Image upload FAQ

Common questions about image uploads.

### Which image formats are supported?

Any standard image type — JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, and others. The API stores your file as-is with the correct Content-Type; there is no conversion step.

### Can I use the URL in an img tag?

Yes. Paste the returned url directly into an img src, a React Image component, or any platform that accepts a public image URL.

### Do you resize or optimize images?

No — files are served exactly as uploaded. Use your own pipeline for resizing or compression before upload if needed.

### How long do image URLs stay valid?

Guest uploads expire after 1, 3, or 7 days (your choice). Free accounts default to 7 days; paid plans offer up to 365 days or never expire.
