## Manage hosted images with the Images binding

[Cloudflare Images](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/)

Copy as Markdown| [View as Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/post/2026-06-10-hosted-images-binding/index.md)| [Agent setup](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Use the Images binding to upload, list, retrieve, update, and delete images stored in Images directly from your Worker without managing API tokens or making HTTP requests.

The `env.IMAGES.hosted` namespace supports the following storage and management operations:

- [`.upload(image, options)`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#uploadimage-options) — Upload a new image to your account.
- [`.list(options)`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#listoptions) — List images with pagination.
- [`.image(imageId).details()`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#imageimageiddetails) — Get image metadata.
- [`.image(imageId).bytes()`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#imageimageidbytes) — Stream the original image bytes.
- [`.image(imageId).update(options)`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#imageimageidupdateoptions) — Update metadata or access controls.
- [`.image(imageId).delete()`](https://developers.cloudflare.com/images/storage/binding/#imageimageiddelete) — Delete an image.

For example, you can upload an image from a request body and return its metadata:

```ts
const image = await env.IMAGES.hosted.upload(request.body, {
	filename: "upload.jpg",
	metadata: { source: "worker" },
});

return Response.json(image);
```

Or retrieve and serve the original bytes of a hosted image:

```ts
const bytes = await env.IMAGES.hosted.image("IMAGE_ID").bytes();
return new Response(bytes);
```
