Cloudinary Next.js Component

Get the best of Cloudinary in Next.js with the CldImage component!

🚨 EXPERIMENTAL: while this should be working pretty well, it's consider experimental, so use at your own risk!

This plugin is not officially supported by Cloudinary.

⚡️ Getting Started

Installation

• Install next-cloudinary with:

yarn add next-cloudinary
# or
npm install next-cloudinary

• Add an environment variable with your Cloud Name:

NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="<Your Cloud Name>"

• Import the CldImage component:

import { CldImage } from 'next-cloudinary';

Usage

The basic required props include width, height, and src:

<CldImage
  width="600"
  height="600"
  src="<Public ID>"
/>

You can further take advantage of Cloudinary features like background removal and overlays by adding additional props:

<CldImage
  width="600"
  height="600"
  src="<Public ID>"
  crop="thumb"
  gravity="faces"
  removeBackground
  tint="100:blue:green:red"
  underlays={[{
    publicId: '<Public ID>',
    width: 600,
    height: 600,
    crop: 'fill'
  }]}
/>

As CldImage is a wrapper around the Next.js Image component, all built-in Image component features will work out-of-the-box including the layout prop.

Background Removal

Removing backgrounds require enabling the Cloudinary AI Background Removal Add-On which includes a free tier for getting started.

Once enabled, you can simply apply the removeBackground prop.

Example:

<CldImage
  ...
  removeBackground
/>

Overlays

The overlays prop is an array of objects with the following configuration options:

Property Name	Type	Example
effects	array	See Below
position	object	See Below
publicId	string	"thumb"
text	object	See Below

The position property can include:

Property Name	Type	Example
angle	number	45
gravity	string	'"north_west"'
x	number	10
y	number	10

Objects in the effects array can include:

Property Name	Type	Example
aspectRatio	string	"3.0"
crop	string	10
gravity	string	'"north_west"'
height	number	'600'
width	number	'600'

The text property can include:

Property Name	Type	Example
color	string	"blueviolet"
fontFamily	string	"Open Sans"
fontSize	number	48
fontWeight	string	"bold"
letterSpacing	number	"14"
textDecoration	string	"underline"

Adding Images

You can add images on top of other images by using image-based overlays.

Example:

<CldImage
  ...
  overlays={[{
    publicId: '<Public ID>',
    position: {
      x: 10,
      y: 10,
      gravity: 'north_west',
    },
    effects: [
      {
        crop: 'fill',
        gravity: 'auto',
        width: 500,
        height: 500
      }
    ]
  }]}
/>

Adding Text

You can add text on top of your image with text-based overlays.

Example:

<CldImage
  ...
  overlays={[{
    width: 2670 - 20,
    crop: 'fit',
    position: {
      x: 10,
      y: 10,
      gravity: 'north_west',
    },
    text: {
      color: 'blueviolet',
      fontFamily: 'Source Sans Pro',
      fontSize: 120,
      fontWeight: 'bold',
      textDecoration: 'underline',
      letterSpacing: 14,
      text: 'Text'
    }
  }]}
/>

Underlays

Underlays function very similar to overlays in terms of options, however they do not support text.

See the examples above under Overlays to learn more about the available configurations.

Example:

<CldImage
  ...
  underlays={[{
    publicId: '<Public ID>',
    width: 1920,
    height: 1200,
    crop: 'fill'
  }]}
/>
