This plugin is inspired by eleventy-plugin-local-respimg by Sam Richard.

Requires Node 14.15+.

Features

Supported Image Formats

This plugin uses eleventy-img to optimize, and generate different sizes and formats of images. All formats supported by eleventy-img are supported by eleventy-plugin-img2picture.

Usage

Basic Usage

const img2picture = require("eleventy-plugin-img2picture");

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  eleventyConfig.addPlugin(img2picture, {
    // Should be same as Eleventy input folder set using `dir.input`.
    eleventyInputDir: ".",

    // Output folder for optimized images.
    imagesOutputDir: "_site",

    // URL prefix for images src URLS.
    // It should match with path suffix in `imagesOutputDir`.
    // Eg: imagesOutputDir with `_site/images` likely need urlPath as `/images/`
    urlPath: "",
  });
};

Recommended Usage

👋 It's recommended to use the plugin only on production builds (E.g.: $ ELEVENTY_ENV=production eleventy). The plugin works fine with basic usage. Just that, your Eleventy builds will be quite slow.

module.exports = function (eleventyConfig) {
  if (process.env.ELEVENTY_ENV === "production") {
    eleventyConfig.addPlugin(img2picture, {
      // Should be same as Eleventy input folder set using `dir.input`.
      eleventyInputDir: ".",

      // Output folder for optimized images.
      imagesOutputDir: "_site",

      // URL prefix for images src URLS.
      // It should match with path suffix in `imagesOutputDir`.
      // Eg: imagesOutputDir with `_site/images` likely need urlPath as `/images/`
      urlPath: "",
    });
  } else {
    // During development, copy the files to Eleventy's `dir.output`
    eleventyConfig.addPassthroughCopy("./images");
  }
};

Options

Name Type Default Description
eleventyInputDir string 🚨 Required

Eleventy input directory. Should be same as Eleventy’s dir.input.
imagesOutputDir string 🚨 Required

Output folder for optimized images.
urlPath string 🚨 Required

URL prefix for images src URLS. It should match with path suffix in imagesOutputDir. Eg: imagesOutputDir with _site/images likely need urlPath as /images/
extensions array ["jpg", "png", "jpeg", "svg"] File extensions to optmize.
formats array ["avif", "webp", "svg", "jpeg"] Formats to be generated.

⚠️ The tags are ordered based on the order of formats in this array. Keep most compatible format at the end.
sizes string "100vw" Default image sizes attribute
minWidth number 150 Minimum image width to be generated
maxWidth number 1500 Maximum image width to be generated
hoistImgClass boolean false Move class attribute on <img> element to enclosing <picture> element.
pictureClass string "" Class attribute for the newly created <picture> elements
widthStep number 150 Width increments between each generated image
fetchRemote boolean false Fetch, cache, and optimize remote images.
dryRun boolean false Don't generate image files. Only HTML tags are generated.
svgShortCircuit boolean | "size" "size" See Eleventy Image Documentation

ℹ️ What is SVG short circuiting?
svgCompressionSize undefined | "br" undefined See Eleventy Image Documentation
filenameFormat function filenameFormatter() Function used by eleventy-img to generate image filenames.
cacheOptions object {} Cache options passed to eleventy-cache-assets.
sharpOptions object {} Options passed to Sharp constructor.
sharpWebpOptions object {} Options passed to [Sharp image format converter] for webp(https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/api-output#webp).
sharpPngOptions object {} Options passed to Sharp image format converter for png.
sharpJpegOptions object {} Options passed to Sharp image format converter for jpeg.
sharpAvifOptions object {} Options passed to Sharp image format converter for avif.

Remote images

Set fetchRemote: true in options to download, cache, and optimize remote images. fetchRemote is false by default. Use cacheOptions passed to eleventy-cache-assets to change cache settings like, cache duration, and path.

Attributes on <img>

  • sizes will be hoisted on <source> elements.
  • src, width, and height attributes will be replaced with corresponding values based on the optimized image.
  • All other attributes on <img> will be retained.

Ignore Images

Images with data-img2picture-ignore="true" or data-img2picture-ignore will be ignored by the plugin.

<img
  data-img2picture-ignore="true"
  src="/images/sunset-by-bruno-scramgnon.jpg"
  alt="Sunset"
/>

Specify widths on <img>

You can provide a comma separated list of widths using data-img2picture-widths. This will override default widths computed from config (minWidth, maxWidth, and widthStep) for a particular <img>.

<img
  data-img2picture-widths="200,400,600,800"
  src="/images/sunset-by-bruno-scramgnon.jpg"
  alt="Sunset"
/>

Specify class for enclosing <picture> tags through <img>

You can provide class attribute for the enclosing <picture> using data-img2picture-picture-class data attribute. This will override the class provided using pictureClass option.

<img
  data-img2picture-picture-class="w-full"
  src="/images/sunset-by-bruno-scramgnon.jpg"
  alt="Sunset"
/>

Disk Cache

Disk cache is a feature provided by the eleventy-img plugin. This plugin will skip unchanged, and already existing images in the output path. If you don't delete generated image between builds, you'll get faster builds. This sample project shows how to persist disk cache across Netlify builds.

Example

<img
  class="w-full"
  src="shapes.png"
  alt="Shapes"
  data-variant="bleed"
  loading="eager"
  decoding="auto"
/>

...will generate:

<picture class="w-full"
  ><source
    type="image/avif"
    srcset="
      shapes-150w.avif   150w,
      shapes-300w.avif   300w,
      shapes-450w.avif   450w,
      shapes-600w.avif   600w,

      shapes-1200w.avif 1200w,
      shapes-1350w.avif 1350w
    "
    sizes="100vw" />
  <source
    type="image/webp"
    srcset="

      shapes-1200w.webp 1200w,
      shapes-1350w.webp 1350w
    "

FAQs

How to pick the right sizes?

I highly recommend to use the magical respimagelint - Linter for Responsive Images by Martin Auswöger.

How is this plugin different from others?

Plugins like eleventy-plugin-respimg, and eleventy-plugin-images-responsiver utilizes shortcodes or attributes to optimize images. The eleventy-plugin-img2picture doesn't rely on shortcode. It optimizes all <img> matching the file extensions. You can exclude <img> using data attribute data-img2picture-ignore.
