Is there a way to generate the base64 image needed for the blur effect on images on demand? I’m wondering how I could have blur images for the ones coming dynamically from a CMS for example.

Basically you need to generate the blurhash beforehand because you need a image to generate the blurhash. Its quite a small string so it can load very fast compared to big image
I dont know if nextjs natively provides a generator for this but generators are available online in many languages:
