I built a personal image hosting and file manager on Cloudflare Workers

I wanted a small image hosting service that I could deploy without maintaining a server.

Most image hosting tools I tried were either too tied to one storage provider, too simple for file management, or required me to maintain a traditional backend. So I built ImgBed around Cloudflare Workers.

It is designed for personal image hosting and lightweight file hosting. The main idea is simple: use Cloudflare as the deployment and runtime layer, then manage uploads, files, API tokens, and storage channels from a web UI.

What it currently supports:

Deploying to Cloudflare Workers or Pages
File upload and file management
API Token based upload, list, delete, and file management
Multiple storage channel configuration
Basic security settings such as upload restrictions and token permissions
A deployment flow for users who do not want to configure everything manually

The stack is mostly:

Cloudflare Workers / Pages
Cloudflare D1
Cloudflare KV
Vue frontend
API Token based management endpoints

One thing I spent a lot of time on was deployment UX. Cloudflare is powerful, but small things like missing KV/D1 resources, OAuth permissions, or workers.dev URL settings can be confusing for new users. So I added step-by-step deployment progress and clearer error messages.

For example, if the Workers production URL is not enabled, the deployment page now tells the user exactly what to enable instead of just showing a generic failure.

I am still improving the documentation and the deployment flow. Feedback from people who use Cloudflare Workers, D1, KV, or self-hosted image/file
tools would be very helpful.
