Export with Image Optimization API

Why This Error Occurred

You configured output: 'export' (or ran next export) while importing the next/image component using the default loader configuration.

However, the default loader relies on the Image Optimization API which is not available for exported applications.

This is because Next.js optimizes images on-demand, as users request them (not at build time).

Possible Ways to Fix It

• Use next start to run a server, which includes the Image Optimization API.
• Use any provider which supports Image Optimization (such as Vercel).
• Configure loader in next.config.js.
• Configure unoptimized in next.config.js.
