Cheap Image Hosting

Hello!
I have a website which is full of images. Every week, over 500 high quality images are uploaded. The images which are hosted on the server occupies over 130GB. The storage space is hardly used and the website is planning to upload even more images and enrich the quality of the pictures. I am thinking to upload the images to a separated server rather than on the same as the website.
Can you recommend me a cheap and reliable image hosting?
I am thinking of using an image hosting rather than getting a supplementary server, for simplicity and for other features like auto optimized images, an API to upload the images to that server etc.
Thanks!

Get a slice and a slab

Also Bunny would probably be pretty cheap

Slice and slab is great!
If you're needing a more managed option, namecrane's Crate plans would be excellent. You'd be $15/month for the 250G plan on either cPanel or DirectAdmin.

Storj or iDrive, cheap and scalable.

I'd just use Backblaze B2. In your case, 130 GB of image storage costs less than $0.1 per month, and B2 egress through cloudflare is free.
Yo! I use https://horizon.pics
Have a look!
i suggest you use to buy a vps nearest your web hosted server. try any image optimization service. i prefer Smush for wp sites. maybe cloudflare have image optimization api. try hosthatch or servarica or hostbrr for cheap storage.
For a simpler route, I’d go with Backblaze B2 with imgproxy (hosted on fly.io or bunny magic containers) and BunnyCDN in front.
For a bit more challenging route, put it on a cheap storage VPS (or even HostBrr storage DA nodes?)
