## What it is
Web2Img is a tool that bundles web files into a single image file, which is then extracted at runtime via a Service Worker. It lets developers use image hosting sites as free CDNs to serve static web assets and save bandwidth costs.

## Use cases
- host a static site using image hosting as a free CDN
- bundle all web assets into a single image file
- serve web files without paying for bandwidth
- deploy a website with only two files on static hosting
- extract bundled web resources via a service worker at runtime

## When to choose
- you want free hosting/CDN via image hosting services
- your site is small and JavaScript/Service Worker support is guaranteed
- bandwidth costs matter more than conventional hosting

## When to avoid
- you need SEO or no-JavaScript support
- target browsers lack Service Worker support
- you need a production-grade, well-documented solution (the author recommends freecdn instead)
