Core Concepts

# Icons and Images

[Copy for LLMs](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/og-image/guides/icons-and-images.md)

## [Nuxt Icon & Nuxt UI](#nuxt-icon-nuxt-ui)

Nuxt OG Image supports both Nuxt Icon `Icon`'s component and Nuxt UI's `UIcon` component.

Nuxt Icon

Nuxt UI

```
<template>
  <div>
    <Icon name="carbon:bot" mode="svg" />
  </div>
</template>
```

```
<template>
  <div>
    <UIcon name="i-carbon-bot" mode="svg" />
  </div>
</template>
```

It's important that the `mode` is set to `svg` to ensure the module renders the icon correctly.

## [Image Resolution](#image-resolution)

Image paths must be either relative to the `public` directory or absolute. It's not possible to bundle images as part of your template.

## [Tips](#tips)

### [Provide Width / Height](#provide-width-height)

When you don't set dimensions, the module uses the package `image-size` to determine the best dimensions for your image.

However, this can be slow and provide incorrect results.

Therefore it's always recommended to provide a width and height when using images.

Likewise when using a background image, make sure the container has set dimensions.

### [Base64 images Are Quickest](#base64-images-are-quickest)

If you're having issues with performance and images, it's recommended to use base64 images.

This will save render time as it won't need to fetch the image. See the [Performance](https://nuxtseo.com/docs/og-image/guides/performance#optimise-components) guide for more tips.

### [Avoid Inlining SVGs](#avoid-inlining-svgs)

Prefer rendering SVGs instead of inlining them within `img` tags

```
<!-- ❌ -->
<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,..." />
<!-- ✅ -->
<svg>
  <rect width="24" height="24" />
</svg>
```
