MediaRenderer
Component that renders any asset stored on IPFS (or anywhere else), given the IPFS URI / URL.
Under the hood, the asset is fetched from IPFS through the thirdweb IPFS gateway (or just
a regular fetch if the src
is not an IPFS URI).
The mime type of the
asset is determined and the appropriate component is rendered on the UI.
For example, if the URI points to an image, the img
tag will be used. If it is a video, the video
tag will be used, etc.
The component currently supports:
- Images
- Videos
- Audio files
- 3D Models
- SVGs (for on-chain NFTs)
iframes
andHTML
- If none of these are appropriate, the fallback is a link to the asset
import { MediaRenderer } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
Usage
Provide the IPFS URI (or any URL that points to media) to the src
prop to render the asset.
import { MediaRenderer } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
function Home() {
return (
// Any URL that points to media (IPFS URI, HTTP URL, etc.)
<MediaRenderer src="ipfs://QmV4HC9fNrPJQeYpbW55NLLuSBMyzE11zS1L4HmL6Lbk7X" />
);
}
Configuration
src (required)
The src attribute specifies the URL of the media.
This can be an IPFS URI, or any URL that points to media (e.g. HTTP URL, etc.).
import { MediaRenderer } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
function Home() {
return (
<MediaRenderer
// highlight-next-line
src="ipfs://QmV4HC9fNrPJQeYpbW55NLLuSBMyzE11zS1L4HmL6Lbk7X"
/>
);
}
alt (recommended)
The alt attributes provides alternative
information for the media, if a user for some reason cannot view it
(due to slow connection, an error in the src
attribute, or if the user is visually impaired).
The default value is ""
.
import { MediaRenderer } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
function Home() {
return (
// Any URL that points to media (IPFS URI, HTTP URL, etc.)
<MediaRenderer

// highlight-next-line
alt="A red circle"
/>
);
}
poster (optional)
The poster is the image that is shown before the video is played.
The default value is the first frame of the video.
If the src
is not a video, this prop is ignored.
import { MediaRenderer } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";
function Home() {
return (
// Any URL that points to media (IPFS URI, HTTP URL, etc.)
<MediaRenderer
src="ipfs://Qmb9ZV5yznE4C4YvyJe8DVFv1LSVkebdekY6HjLVaKmHZi"
