+## `ipx`

+Internally nuxt image uses [ipx](https://github.com/nuxt-contrib/ipx) to modify and optimize images.  
+
+- `dir`: The root directory of the all images. By default nuxt image looks `static` dir to find original images, 
+- `clearCache`: The ipx has a caching stategy to clear cached images to reduce massive disk usages. You can schedule the cache cleaning job using `clearCache` option in provide options. By default this cron job is disabled.

-## `local`

-Local provider is an integration of ipx and image module. Local provider is an specific provider that uses for development, optimizing in-project.  
-By default local provider looks `static` dir to find original images, You can change `dir` inside `nuxt.config`.
-The local provider has a caching stategy to clear cached images to reduce massive disk usages. You can schedule the cache cleaning job using `clearCache` option in provide options. By default this cron job is disabled.
