Image & Video Hosting pricing, compared

Two ways to use it. Transforming images that live elsewhere (R2, S3, your server) bills only unique transformations, so images_stored and bandwidth_gb cost nothing here — but the bucket is a separate bill (R2: 10 GB free, then $0.015/GB, no egress fees). Storing images in Cloudflare Images bills images stored and images delivered, not transformations. Images delivered are converted from bandwidth at 100 KB per optimized image: $1 per 100,000 images = $0.10 per GB. Storage blocks of 100,000 are modelled as $5 including the first 100,000 then $0.00005 per image; in reality each further block is another $5. The pricing page states no other minimum fee. Cloudflare Stream (video) is priced separately and left out.

Optimizer covers unlimited requests, optimizations and transformations, so transformations cost nothing extra. Bandwidth uses the Standard network's Europe and North America rate ($0.01/GB, from https://bunny.net/pricing/cdn/); the Volume network is $0.005/GB but with 10 PoPs. Storage is Bunny Storage Standard in one region ($0.01/GB, from https://bunny.net/pricing/storage/; replication costs more), converted at 500 KB per original — or keep originals in any origin you already pay for. Bunny Stream (video) is left out.

Image transformations aren't billed on any plan, so the transformations driver costs nothing. Storage converts at 500 KB per original (2,000 images per GB): Free 3 GB, Lite 10 GB then $0.10/GB, Pro 225 GB then $0.09/GB. If your originals stay in your own bucket, storage at ImageKit is zero and you pay the bucket instead. Video processing units (500 on Free and Lite, 5,000 on Pro then $9 per 10,000) and extension units for AI add-ons (650 / 650 / 4,000, Pro $9 per 5,000 more) are left out.

Rates are iad1 (Washington D.C.); other regions cost up to $0.0812 per 1,000 transformations. Each transformation is $0.00005 plus its cache write: a 100 KB optimized image is about 13 write units of 8 KB at $0.000004 = $0.000052, so $0.000102 per transformation. Cache reads are left out (small, and not billed for regional cache hits); so are CDN Requests ($2 per million on demand, 1M in the Flat Rate included tier). Source images stay in your deployment or bucket, so images_stored costs nothing here. Hobby includes 5,000 transformations, 300,000 cache reads and 100,000 cache writes a month; its 100 GB is the account's whole transfer allowance. The $20 Pro fee is the platform plan you'd pay anyway for hosting; its $20 monthly usage credit can absorb image costs but is shared with all other usage, so it isn't modelled. Only modelled for Vercel-hosted sites, since it's built into Next.js <Image>.

One credit buys 1k images, or 500 transformations, or 1 GB; every kind of usage draws on the same credits.

Credit costs (https://www.imgix.com/pricing-faq): 2 credits per GB of cached originals per month (0.001 per original at 500 KB), 1 credit per 500 standard renders, 1 credit per GB delivered, all from one bundle; extra credits are billed at the bundle’s per-credit price. The cached-originals storage is assumed to hold all your originals; only those fetched recently may count. Annual bundles are 15% cheaper. AI features cost far more credits.

One credit buys 2k images, or 1k transformations, or 1 GB; every kind of usage draws on the same credits.

One credit is 1 GB stored (about 2,000 originals at 500 KB), 1,000 transformations or 1 GB delivered, all drawn from the same monthly credits; the self-serve plans sell no extra credits. Derived assets also count toward storage, so real storage use is higher than originals alone. Cloudinary’s documentation mentions a Pro pay-as-you-go tier at $0.45 per extra credit, but the live pricing page lists only Free, Plus, Advanced and Enterprise, so it isn’t modelled. Video processing and video bandwidth are left out; add-ons are extra. Enterprise is custom-priced.
