Image optimization of external urls (for eg, unsplash, cloudinary)

[TechAkayy]

I'm trying out @islands/images that uses vite-plugin-image-presets, and I'm curious to know if it's possible to optimize images from external sources like unsplash, cloudinary etc?

For eg, in nuxt projects, there is a nuxt/image module and it supports remote images - https://image.nuxt.com/providers/cloudinary

Also, is there a composable api, similar to for eg, nuxt/images's https://image.nuxt.com/usage/use-image, which can be used to optimize images, and use it for eg, with Vuetify's v-img component (example here) or set as background-image of a div tag?

Image optimization is a new area I'm exploring, so apologies if any of my ask is silly ;-) Thank you!
