Comparison with similar libraries

It is very difficult to write this page objectively, but on the other hand I understand that it is very important for developers.

We will do our best to avoid bias and provide fair and accurate information, but if you find something wrong or inaccurate, please let us know by submitting an Issue!

next-optimized-images​

https://github.com/cyrilwanner/next-optimized-images

It is probably the most famous of Next.js' image optimization libraries. Compared to our library, it has the following characteristics

  • Optimize images using webpack's loader feature.
  • No need to use next/image

Let me list some of the disadvantages.

  • Update stopped on August 9, 2020.
  • Bundle size is bloated when long strings such as srcSet are needed to bundle images with webpack.

Because of the above features, we would like to compare our library with this one and recommend our library to the following users.

  • I want to use next/image to optimize images.
  • I'm using responsive-loader, but I'm concerned about the bundle size of images.

next-image-export-optimizer​

https://github.com/Niels-IO/next-image-export-optimizer

Since this library is very similar to ours, it would be very good for you to try this one as well.

A brief comparison with our library reveals the following characteristics for your reference.

  • Specify a directory, such as public/images, and the images in it will be processed.

Let me list some of the disadvantages.

  • Settings are somewhat complicated and cumbersome.
  • All options for next/image are not available.
  • Only one extension can be handled.

Due to the above features, next-image-export-optimizer is not recommended for the following users.

  • Want to use it as simply as possible.
  • When multiple formats of images are required to be supported by Picture component.
  • I want to use next build to optimize images in advance while using the Node.js server.
  • Remote image optimization made easy.

Please let me know if there are others!​

I'll cry and be happy lol.😂
