ImageKit Next.js SDK allows you to resize, optimize, deliver, and upload images and videos in your Next.js application.
ImageKit is a complete media storage, optimization, and transformation solution that comes with an image and video CDN. It can be integrated with your existing infrastructure - storage like AWS S3, web servers, your CDN, and custom domain names, allowing you to deliver optimized images in minutes with minimal code changes.
Add imagekitio-next to your project by executing one of the following commands:
npm install --save imagekitio-nextor
yarn add imagekitio-nextImport components in your code:
import { IKImage, IKVideo, ImageKitProvider, IKUpload, ImageKitContext } from 'imagekitio-next'By default, imagekitio-next fully supports the included components in the src directory without any additional setup.
The components in the app directory are, by default, React Server-Side Components (RSCs), but not everything can be done server-side. That's where Client components come in.
imagekitio-next provides components that operate exclusively on the client side.
When using the SDK for the first time, you might enter either of the following errors.
Error: (0 , react__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0__.createContext) is not a function
or
You're importing a component that needs createContext. It only works in a Client Component but none of its parents are marked with "use client", so they're Server Components by default.
To simply fix this, you can force the component or the page to operate solely on Client Side by adding "use client"; directive at the start of the file, you can read more about it here Using Client Components in Next.js.
To protect your application from malicious users, configuration is required to use external images. The remotePatterns configuration in Next.js specifies the sources allowed to load images via external URLs. This enhances security by preventing unauthorized image sources, which could potentially expose the application to vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) or data theft. By defining a whitelist of trusted image sources, developers can ensure that only images from these sources are loaded, thereby safeguarding the application. For more details, refer to the Next.js documentation.

</ImageKitProvider>- The official step-by-step Next.js quick start guide - https://imagekit.io/docs/integration/next
The library includes 6 Components:
ImageKitProvideris used to define options such asurlEndpoint,publicKey, orauthenticatorfor all child components. It does not render any UI elements.IKImagefor image resizing, this utilizes next/image and renders an<img>tag.IKVideofor video resizing, this renders a<video>tag.IKUploadfor client-side file uploading, this renders a<input type="file">tag.ImageKitClientfor Core SDK, this exposes methods from ImageKit javascript SDK like url and upload.ImageKitContextis a context used to provide access to options such asurlEndpoint,publicKey,ikClientorauthenticatorto child components withinImageKitProvider. It does not render any UI elements.
To use this SDK, you need to provide it with a few configuration parameters. You can use a parent ImageKitProvider component to define common options for all children IKImage, IKVideo or IKupload components. For example:
<ImageKitProvider
urlEndpoint="https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id" // Required. Default URL-endpoint is https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id
publicKey="your_public_api_key" // optional
transformationPosition="path" // optional
authenticator={()=>Promise} // optional
<IKImage path="/default-image.jpg" width={200} height={200} alt="Alt text"/>
</ImageKitProvider>urlEndpointis required to use the SDK. You can get URL-endpoint from your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard/url-endpoints.publicKeyandauthenticatorparameters are required if you want to use the SDK for client-side file upload. You can get these parameters from the developer section in your ImageKit dashboard - https://imagekit.io/dashboard/developer/api-keys.transformationPositionis optional. The default value for this parameter ispath. Acceptable values arepath&query
Note: Do not include your private key in any client-side code.
The IKImage component acts as a wrapper around the Next.js Image component. This allows you to access all the built-in features of the Next.js Image component. The IKImage component is used for rendering and manipulating images in real time. It accepts the following props:
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| urlEndpoint | String | Optional. The base URL to be appended before the path of the image. If not specified, the URL-endpoint specified in the parent ImageKitProvider component is used. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/ |
| path | String | Conditional. This is the path at which the image exists. For example, /path/to/image.jpg. Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
| src | String | Conditional. This is the complete URL of an image already mapped to ImageKit. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/path/to/image.jpg. Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
| transformation | Array of objects | Optional. An array of objects specifying the transformation to be applied in the URL. The transformation name and the value should be specified as a key-value pair in the object. See list of different tranformations. Different steps of a chained transformation can be specified as the Array's different objects. The complete list of supported transformations in the SDK and some examples of using them are given later. If you use a transformation name that is not specified in the SDK, it is applied in the URL as it is. |
| transformationPosition | String | Optional. The default value is path, which places the transformation string as a URL path parameter. It can also be specified as query, which adds the transformation string as the URL's query parameter i.e.tr. If you use the src parameter to create the URL, then the transformation string is always added as a query parameter. |
| queryParameters | Object | Optional. These are the other query parameters that you want to add to the final URL. These can be any query parameters and are not necessarily related to ImageKit. Especially useful if you want to add some versioning parameters to your URLs. |
| loading | String | Optional. Pass lazy to lazy load images. Note: Component does not accept change in this value after it has mounted. |
| lqip | Object | Optional. You can use this to show a low-quality blurred placeholder while the original image is being loaded e.g. {active:true, quality: 20, blur: 6, raw: "n-lqip_named_transformation"}. The default value of quality is 20, and blur is 6. If raw transformation is provided, SDK uses that and ignores the quality and blur parameters. Note: Component does not accept change in this value after it has mounted. |
| width | String or Number | Required, except for statically imported images or images with the fill property. The width property represents the rendered width in pixels, so it will affect how large the image appears. |
| height | String or Number | Required, except for statically imported images or images with the fill property. The height property represents the rendered height in pixels, so it will affect how large the image appears. |
| alt | String | Required. The alt property is used to describe the image for screen readers and search engines. It is also the fallback text if images have been disabled or an error occurs while loading the image. |
In addition to these, you can use all the options supported by next/image except for loading, loader and src. You can find the full list of supported next/image props here.
The height and width properties are ignored if they are included in the transformation parameter passed to IKImage, and fill={true} is applied. In such cases, where the transformation contains height or width, a bounding element with appropriate dimensions should be provided, and its position should be set to one of absolute, fixed, or relative. If height, width, or quality is specified only as a prop and not in the transformation, it is automatically applied in the transformation. Please refer to the example below.
<div style={{ position: "relative", width: "200", height: "200" }}>
<IKImage path={path} transformation={[{ height: "200", width: "200" }]} alt="test-image" />
</div><ImageKitProvider urlEndpoint="https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id">
// Image from related file path with no transformations - https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg" height={200} width={300} alt="Alt text"
/>
// Image resizing - https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/tr:w-h-300,w-400/default-image.jpg
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{
height:"300",
width:"400"
}]}
alt="Alt text"
/>
// Loading image from an absolute file path with no transformations - https://www.custom-domain.com/default-image.jpg
<IKImage
src="https://www.custom-domain.com/default-image.jpg" height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"
/>
// Using a new transformation parameter which is not there in this SDK yet - https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/tr:custom-value/default-image.jpg
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{
custom: 'value'
}]}
height={200}
width={200}
alt="Alt text"
/>
</ImageKitProvider>The transformation prop is an array of objects. Each object can have the following properties. When you specify more than one object, each object is added as a chained transformation. For example:
// It means first resize the image to 400x400 and then rotate 90 degree
transformation = [
{
height: 400,
width: 400
},
{
rotation: 90
}
]See the complete list of transformations supported in ImageKit here. The SDK gives a name to each transformation parameter e.g. height for h and width for w parameter. It makes your code more readable. If the property does not match any of the following supported options, it is added as it is.
ImageKit.io enables you to apply overlays to images and videos using the raw parameter with the concept of layers. The raw parameter facilitates incorporating transformations directly in the URL. A layer is a distinct type of transformation that allows you to define an asset to serve as an overlay, along with its positioning and additional transformations.
Text as overlays
You can add any text string over a base video or image using a text layer (l-text).
For example:
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{ "width": "400", "height": "300" },{ "raw": "l-text,i-Imagekit,fs-50,l-end" }]}
alt="Alt text"
/>Sample Result URL
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/tr:h-300,w-400,l-text,i-Imagekit,fs-50,l-end/default-image.jpg
Image as overlays
You can add an image over a base video or image using an image layer (l-image).
For example:
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{ "width": "400", "height": "300" },{ "raw": "l-image,i-default-image.jpg,w-100,b-10_CDDC39,l-end" }]}
alt="Alt text"
/>Sample Result URL
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/tr:h-300,w-400,l-image,i-default-image.jpg,w-100,b-10_CDDC39,l-end/default-image.jpg
Solid color blocks as overlays
You can add solid color blocks over a base video or image using an image layer (l-image).
For example:
<IKVideo
path="/img/sample-video.mp4"
transformation={[{ "width": 400, "height": 300 },{ "raw": "l-image,i-ik_canvas,bg-FF0000,w-300,h-100,l-end" }]}
/>Sample Result URL
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/tr:h-300,w-400,l-image,i-ik_canvas,bg-FF0000,w-300,h-100,l-end/img/sample-video.mp4
ImageKit allows use of arithmetic expressions in certain dimension and position-related parameters, making media transformations more flexible and dynamic.
For example:
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{
"height": "ih_div_2",
"width": "iw_div_4",
"border": "cw_mul_0.05_yellow"
}]}
alt="Alt text"
/>Sample Result URL
https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg?tr=w-iw_div_4,h-ih_div_2,b-cw_mul_0.05_yellow

Chained transforms make it easy to specify the order the transform is applied. For example:
// Using chained transformation. First, resize and then rotate the image to 90 degrees.
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[
{
height: 300,
width: 400
},
{
rotation: 90
}
]}
alt="Alt text"
/>You can lazy load images using the loading prop. When you use loading="lazy", all images that are immediately viewable without scrolling load normally. Those far below the device viewport are only fetched when the user scrolls near them.
The SDK uses a fixed threshold based on the effective connection type to ensure that images are loaded early enough so that they have finished loading once the user scrolls near to them.
On fast connections (e.g 4G), the value of threshold is 1250px and on slower connections (e.g 3G), it is 2500px.
You should always set the
heightandwidthof the image element to avoid layout shift when lazy-loading images.
Example usage:
// Lazy loading images
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[
{
height:"300",
width:"400"
},
{
rotation:90
}
]}
loading="lazy"
alt="Alt text"
/>To improve user experience, you can use a low-quality blurred variant of the original image as a placeholder while the original image is being loaded in the background. Once the loading of the original image is finished, the placeholder is replaced with the original image.
// Loading a blurred low quality image placeholder while the original image is being loaded
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
lqip={{active:true}}
height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"
/>By default, the SDK uses the quality:20 and blur:6. You can change this. For example:
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
lqip={{active:true, quality: 40, blur: 5}}
height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"
/>You can also specify a raw transformation if you want more control over the URL of the low-quality image placeholder. In this case, the SDK ignores quality and blur parameters.
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
lqip={{active:true, raw: "n-lqip_named_transformation"}}
height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"
/>You have the option to lazy-load the original image only when the user scrolls near them. Until then, only a low-quality placeholder is loaded. This saves a lot of network bandwidth if the user never scrolls further down.
// Loading a blurred low quality image placeholder and lazy-loading original when the user scrolls near them
<IKImage
path="/default-image.jpg"
transformation={[{height:"300",width:"400"},{rotation:90}]}
lqip={{active:true}}
loading="lazy"
alt="Alt text"
/>You can use urlEndpoint prop in an individual IKImage to change url for that image. For example:
<ImageKitProvider urlEndpoint="https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id">
// Render an image using parent ImageKitProvider urlEndpont - https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/default-image.jpg
<IKImage path="/default-image.jpg" height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"/>
// Overriding urlEndpoint defined in parent ImageKitProvider - https://www.custom-domain.com/default-image.jpg
<IKImage urlEndpoint="https://www.custom-domain.com" path="/default-image.jpg" height={200} width={200} alt="Alt text"/>
</ImageKitProvider>The IKVideo component renders a video tag. It is used for rendering and manipulating videos in real-time. IKVideo component accepts the following props:
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| urlEndpoint | String | Optional. The base URL to be appended before the path of the video. If not specified, the URL-endpoint specified in the parent ImageKitProvider component is used. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/ |
| path | String | Conditional. This is the path at which the video exists. For example, /path/to/video.mp4. Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
| src | String | Conditional. This is the complete URL of a video already mapped to ImageKit. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/path/to/video.mp4. Either the path or src parameter needs to be specified for URL generation. |
| transformation | Array of objects | Optional. An array of objects specifying the transformation to be applied in the URL. The transformation name and the value should be specified as a key-value pair in the object. See list of different tranformations. The complete list of supported transformations in the SDK and some examples of using them are given later. If you use a transformation name that is not specified in the SDK, it gets applied as it is in the URL. |
| transformationPosition | String | Optional. The default value is path, which places the transformation string as a path parameter in the URL. It can also be query, which adds the transformation string as the query parameter tr in the URL. If you use the src parameter to create the URL, then the transformation string is always added as a query parameter. |
| queryParameters | Object | Optional. These are the other query parameters that you want to add to the final URL. These can be any query parameters and are not necessarily related to ImageKit. Especially useful if you want to add some versioning parameters to your URLs. |

]Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABS) enhances the video streaming experience by adapting to various devices and connection speeds. It reduces buffering, enables quick start times, and ensures a seamless viewing experience, regardless of whether the connection is high-speed or low-speed. For more details on ABS and how to implement it in Next.js, please refer to this blog.
The SDK provides the IKUpload component to upload files to the ImageKit Media Library.
IKUpload component accepts the following props. These options are better explained in the ImageKit Upload API documentation.
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fileName | String | Optional. If not specified, the file system name is picked. |
| useUniqueFileName | Boolean | Optional. Accepts true of false. The default value is true. Specify whether to use a unique filename for this file or not. |
| tags | Array of string | Optional. Set the tags while uploading the file e.g. ["tag1","tag2"] |
| folder | String | Optional. The folder path (e.g. /images/folder/) in which the file has to be uploaded. If the folder doesn't exist before, a new folder is created. |
| isPrivateFile | Boolean | Optional. Accepts true of false. The default value is false. Specify whether to mark the file as private or not. This is only relevant for image type files |
| customCoordinates | String | Optional. Define an important area in the image. This is only relevant for image-type files. To be passed as a string with the x and y coordinates of the top-left corner and width and height of the area of interest in the format x,y,width,height. For example - 10,10,100,100 |
| responseFields | Array of string | Optional. Values of the fields that you want upload API to return in the response. For example, set the value of this field to ["tags", "customCoordinates", "isPrivateFile"] to get value of tags, customCoordinates, and isPrivateFile in the response. |
| extensions | Array of object | Optional. Array of object for applying extensions on the image. |
| webhookUrl | String | Optional. Final status of pending extensions will be sent to this URL. |
| overwriteFile | Boolean | Optional. Default is true. If overwriteFile is set to false and useUniqueFileName is also false, and a file already exists at the exact location, upload API will return an error immediately. |
| overwriteAITags | Boolean | Optional. Default is true. If set to true and a file already exists at the exact location, its AITags will be removed. Set overwriteAITags to false to preserve AITags. |
| overwriteCustomMetadata | Boolean | Optional. Default is true. If the request does not have customMetadata , overwriteCustomMetadata is set to true and a file already exists at the exact location, exiting customMetadata will be removed. In case the request body has customMetadata, setting overwriteCustomMetadata to false has no effect and request's customMetadata is set on the asset. |
| customMetadata | Object | Optional. JSON key-value data to be associated with the asset. |
| ref | Reference | Optional. Forward reference to the core HTMLInputElement. |
| onUploadStart | Function callback | Optional. Called before the upload is started. The first and only argument is the HTML input's change event |
| onUploadProgress | Function callback | Optional. Called while an upload is in progress. The first and only argument is the ProgressEvent |
| validateFile | Function callback | Optional. This function accepts the File object as an argument and exoects a Boolean return value. This is called before the upload is started to run custom validation. The first and only argument is the file selected for upload. If the callback returns true, the upload is allowed to continue. But, if it returns false, the upload is not done |
| overrideParameters | Function callback | Optional. This function accepts the File object as an argument and should return a JSON value, e.g., {fileName: "new-file-name.jpg"}. Use this to programmatically override fileName, useUniqueFileName, tags, folder, isPrivateFile, customCoordinates, extensions, webhookUrl, overwriteFile, overwriteAITags, overwriteTags, overwriteCustomMetadata, customMetadata, and transformation, and checks parameters. |
| onSuccess | Function callback | Optional. Called if the upload is successful. The first and only argument is the response JSON from the upload API. The request-id, response headers, and HTTP status code are also accessible using the $ResponseMetadata key that is exposed from the javascript sdk |
| onError | Function callback | Optional. Called if upload results in an error. The first and only argument is the error received from the upload API |
| urlEndpoint | String | Optional. If not specified, the URL-endpoint specified in the parent ImageKitProvider component is used. For example, https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/ |
| publicKey | String | Optional. If not specified, the publicKey specified in the parent ImageKitProvider component is used. |
| authenticator | ()=>Promise<{signature:string,token:string,expiry:number}> | Optional. If not specified, the authenticator specified in the parent ImageKitProvider component is used. |
| checks | String | Optional. Run server-side checks before uploading files. For example, "file.size" < "1mb" will check if the file size is less than 1 MB. Check Upload API docs to learn more. Notice the quotes around file.size and 1mb; otherwise, you will get an error Your request contains invalid syntax for the checks parameter. |
Make sure that you have specified
authenticatorandpublicKeyinIKUploador in the parentImageKitProvidercomponent as a prop. The authenticator expects an asynchronous function that resolves with an object containing the necessary security parameters i.esignature,token, andexpire.
ref can be passed to obtain access to the IKUpload component's instance. Currently, only 1 abort method is supported to be called on the ref. Calling the abort method will abort the upload if any is in progress.
Sample Usage
const onUploadStart = (evt) => {
console.log('Started', evt);
};
const onUploadProgress = (evt) => {

<h1>Custom Upload Button</h1>
{reftest && <button className='custom-button-style' onClick={() => reftest.current.click()}>Upload</button>}
</ImageKitProvider>;Accessing the underlying ImageKit javascript SDK is possible using the ImageKitClient import. For example:
import { ImageKitClient } from "imagekitio-next"
// Generate image URL
var imagekit = new ImageKitClient({
publicKey: "your_public_api_key",
urlEndpoint: "https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id",
});
//https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/tr:h-300,w-400/default-image.jpg
var imageURL = imagekit.url({
path: "/default-image.jpg",
urlEndpoint: "https://ik.imagekit.io/your_imagekit_id/endpoint/",
transformation: [{
"height": "300",
"width": "400"
}]
});To access options such as urlEndpoint, publicKey, ikClient or authenticator in child elements defined within ImageKitProvider you can use ImageKitContext. For example:
import { ImageKitContext } from "imagekitio-next"
...
const { urlEndpoint, ikClient, authenticator } = useContext(ImageKitContext);For any feedback or to report any issues or general implementation support, please reach out to [email protected]
