Vercel Image Optimization works out the box with Next.js and Nuxt.js. The following examples show how you can optimize your images on Vercel using your framework's image component.
Next.js provides a built-in next/image
component.
import Image from 'next/image';
This component takes the following required props:
src
: The URL of the image to be loadedalt
: A short description of the imagewidth
: The width of the imageheight
: The height of the image
When using local images you do not need to provide the width
and height
props. These values will be automatically determined based on the imported image.
The below example uses a remote image stored in a /public/images/
folder, and has the width
and height
props applied:
<Image
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1627843240167-b1f9d28f732e"
alt="Picture of a triangle"
width={500}
height={500}
/>
If there are some images that you wish to not optimize (for example, if the URL contains a token), you can use the unoptimized prop to disable image optimization on some or all of your images.
For more information on all props, caching behavior, and responsive images, visit the next/image
documentation.
Push your changes and deploy your Next.js application to Vercel.
When deployed to Vercel, this component automatically optimizes your images on-demand and serves them from the Vercel Edge Network.
