I recently tried using Next instead of Nuxt, but I seem to recall I couldn't export optimised images when doing a statically generated site.

Has this changed, or are there any plans to change it?

You can still use `next/image` when outputting a static site, as long as you use `next start`. Using `next export` removes the server entirely, meaning you can't optimize images on demand.

There's an open issue to explore optimizing images at build time, but for now, you can use https://github.com/cyrilwanner/next-optimized-images

I ran into the same issue when trying to run next export. The linked library has worked great. I wanted to simply have a srcset generated at build time. I don't know why Next Image can't support this out of the box.
