Convert NowNext.js Image Optimization
While Next.js's next/image component can auto-convert images, pre-converting to WebP is beneficial when you're using static exports, serving from a CDN, or want guaranteed format control.
When to Pre-Convert
- Static export (
next export) — No server-side optimization available - Public folder images — These bypass next/image optimization
- CDN-served assets — Pre-optimize for maximum performance
- Open Graph images — Social media crawlers need direct URLs
Integration Tips
Place converted WebP files in your /public folder. Use them directly in <img> tags or with the Next.js Image component. For dynamic content, keep the original and let next/image handle optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use WebP with next/image component?
You can! Next.js Image component accepts WebP files. Pre-converting is especially useful for static exports and public folder images where server-side optimization isn't available.
Does Next.js automatically convert to WebP?
Yes, when using the next/image component with the default loader and a running server. But for static exports, CDN hosting, or public folder images, you need to pre-convert.
What about AVIF in Next.js?
Next.js supports AVIF too. However, WebP has broader browser support and faster encoding times. Use WebP for maximum compatibility.
