Installation

Using image module in your Nuxt project is only one command away.

You are reading the v1 documentation compatible with Nuxt 3.
Checkout v0.image.nuxtjs.org for Nuxt 2 compatible version. (Announcement).

Add @nuxt/image@rc dependency to your project:

pnpm
pnpm add @nuxt/image@rc

Add it to modules in your nuxt.config:

nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    '@nuxt/image',
  ]
})

You can now start using <NuxtImg> and <NuxtPicture> components in your Nuxt app ✨

Configuration

Add an image section in your nuxt.config:

nuxt.config.ts
image: {
  // Options
}

See the image configuration for all available options and features to customize.

Troubleshooting

If an error occurs during installation:

pnpm
pnpm up @nuxt/image@rc
  • Try recreating lock-file:
npx nuxt@latest upgrade --force
  • If there is still an error related to sharp and node-gyp, it is is probably becase your OS architecture or NodeJS version is not included in pre-built binaries and needs to built from source (for example, this sometimes occurs on Apple M1). Checkout node-gyp for install requirements.
  • If none of the above worked, please open an issue and include error trace, OS, Node version and the package manager used for installing.
