Fairu vs Next.js Image

Stop optimizing images on your server

Next.js Image consumes your server's CPU and memory for every image request. Fairu offloads all processing to CDN edge nodes — and adds instant blocking, focal point cropping, and full asset management.

Why teams move image handling to Fairu

Zero server resources consumed

Next.js Image runs optimization on your Node.js server — consuming CPU and memory on every request. Fairu processes everything on CDN edge nodes, keeping your server free for application logic.

Instant file blocking

Copyright issue? DMCA claim? Block any file instantly and it stops being served across all channels — CDN, API, embeds. No redeployment, no cache waiting. One click.

Focal point cropping

Set the focal point visually once. Every crop, resize, and aspect ratio variant will respect it — no manual adjustment for each breakpoint or use case.

Copyright & license management

Attach copyrights and licenses to files. When a license expires, delivery is blocked automatically. Full audit trail and DMCA handling built in.

Works with any framework

Not locked into Next.js. Use Fairu with React, Vue, Laravel, WordPress, static sites, mobile apps — any platform that can load an image URL.

Complete asset management

Organize files in folders, search with AI-powered metadata, manage team access, and deliver from one central platform.
