images

If you want to use a cloud provider to optimize images instead of using the Next.js built-in Image Optimization API, you can configure next.config.js with the following:

next.config.js

module.exports = {
  images: {
    loader: 'custom',
    loaderFile: './my/image/loader.js',
  },
}

This loaderFile must point to a file relative to the root of your Next.js application. The file must export a default function that returns a string, for example:

my/image/loader.js

export default function myImageLoader({ src, width, quality }) {
  return `https://example.com/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`
}

Alternatively, you can use the loader prop to pass the function to each instance of next/image.

To learn more about configuring the behavior of the built-in Image Optimization API and the Image Component, see Image Configuration Options for available options.
