Import images in Next.js (jpg, jpeg, png, svg, fig, ico, webp, and jp2 images by default).

• Load images from local computer
• Load images from remote (CDN for example) by setting assetPrefix
• Inline small images to Base64 for reducing http requests
• Adds a content hash to the file name so images can get cached

If you also want image minimalization and optimization have a look at next-optimized-images

npm install --save next-images

or

yarn add next-images

Create a next.config.js in your project

// next.config.js
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages()

Optionally you can add your custom Next.js configuration as parameter

// next.config.js
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

And in your components or pages simply import your images:

export default () => <div>
  <img src={require('./my-image.jpg')} />
</div>

or

import img from './my-image.jpg'

export default () => <div>
  <img src={img} />
</div>

You can serve remote images by setting assetPrefix option.

Dynamic (runtime) asset prefixes are also supported, you can enable this feature by setting dynamicAssetPrefix to true.

Example usage:

// next.config.js
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  assetPrefix: 'https://example.com',
  dynamicAssetPrefix: true,
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

Inlines images with sizes below inlineImageLimit to Base64. Default value is 8192.

Example usage:

// next.config.js
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  inlineImageLimit: 16384,
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

Folders that you want to exclude from the loader. Useful for svg-react-loader for example.

Example usage:

// next.config.js
const path = require('path');
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  exclude: path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/assets/svg'),
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

You have the power to specifiy the file extensions you'd like to pass to this loader configuration. This is helpful for adding image types that behave similarly, but are not included by default. It's also helpful in the same way that exclude is helpful, because you can exclude all SVGs (not just one from a specific folder).

TypeScript Users: If you exclude a file suffix, please note our shipped types declaration file will be incorrect. You'll want to use declaration merging or override dependencies for the same file suffixes as needed.

Please note: If you have issues with a file suffix not included in our default list (["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "svg", "gif", "ico", "webp", "jp2"]), we won't be able to guarantee bug support.

Example usage:

// next.config.js
const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  fileExtensions: ["jpg", "jpeg", "png", "gif"],
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

By default, file-loader generates JS modules that use the ES modules syntax. There are some cases in which using ES modules is beneficial, like in the case of module concatenation and tree shaking.

ES Modules are disabled by default. You can enable them by using esModule config option:

const withImages = require('next-images')
module.exports = withImages({
  esModule: true,
  webpack(config, options) {
    return config
  }
})

By enabling ES modules you should change your require statements and get default property out of them:

<img src={require("./img.png").default}>

import statement should be as before.

import img from "./img.png";

Typescript doesn't know how interpret imported images. next-images package contains definitions for image modules, you need to add reference to next-images types (third line) into your next-env.d.ts file.

/// <reference types="next" />
/// <reference types="next/types/global" />

+ /// <reference types="next-images" />
