 ```markdown
 ![orange cat](https://direct-img.link/orange+cat)
 ![sunset at beach](https://direct-img.link/sunset+at+beach)
 ![current us president](https://direct-img.link/current+us+president)
-```
-
-That's it. The image is searched, cached, and served.
-
-## How It Works
-
-1. A request hits `direct-img.link/<query>`
-2. If cached (within 30 days) → serves the image instantly from R2
-3. If not cached → searches via Brave Image Search API → stores in R2 → serves
-
-## URL Format
-
-Use `+` to separate words, like Google:
-
-```
-https://direct-img.link/orange+cat
-https://direct-img.link/new+york+city
-```
-
-| Query | URL |
-|---|---|
-| orange cat | `/orange+cat` |
-| spider-man | `/spider-man` |
-| u.s. president | `/u.s.+president` |
-| 90's fashion | `/90%27s+fashion` |
-| "exact phrase" | `/%22exact+phrase%22` |
-
-## For AI System Prompts
-
-```
-When including images in your markdown responses, use https://direct-img.link/<query>
-as the image URL. Use + to separate words. Example: ![orange cat](https://direct-img.link/orange+cat)
-```
