About Cloudflare R2

Object storage from Cloudflare without egress fees.

Cloudflare R2 is an S3-compatible object storage service for storing large amounts of unstructured data such as files, images, and backups. It is designed for developers who want to avoid the egress bandwidth costs typically associated with cloud object storage. R2 integrates directly with Cloudflare Workers, allowing code running at the edge to read and write objects via a bucket binding.

Where to start

Developers can create an R2 bucket through the Cloudflare dashboard and bind it to a Worker using a Wrangler configuration file. From there, the Worker can interact with the bucket using the R2 bindings API to put, get, list, and delete objects.
