Integrate Vercel Blob object storage for file uploads, image management, and CDN-delivered assets in Next.js applications. Supports client-side uploads with presigned URLs and multipart transfers.
|
||||
|
||||
Use when implementing file uploads (images, PDFs, videos), managing user-generated content, or troubleshooting missing tokens, size limit errors, or client upload failures.

# Vercel Blob (Object Storage)
|
||||
|
||||
**Status**: Production Ready
|
||||
**Last Updated**: 2025-10-29
|
||||
**Dependencies**: None
|
||||
**Latest Versions**: `@vercel/blob@2.0.0`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start (3 Minutes)
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Create Blob Store
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# In Vercel dashboard: Storage → Create Database → Blob
|
||||
vercel env pull .env.local
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates: `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN`
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Install
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install @vercel/blob
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Upload File (Server Action)
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use server';
|
||||
|
||||
import { put } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function uploadFile(formData: FormData) {
|
||||
const file = formData.get('file') as File;
|
||||
|
||||
const blob = await put(file.name, file, {
|
||||
access: 'public' // or 'private'
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return blob.url; // https://xyz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/file.jpg
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL:**
|
||||
- Use client upload tokens for direct client uploads (don't expose `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN`)
|
||||
- Set correct `access` level (`public` vs `private`)
|
||||
- Files are automatically distributed via CDN
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## The 5-Step Setup Process
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Create Blob Store
|
||||
|
||||
**Vercel Dashboard**:
|
||||
1. Project → Storage → Create Database → Blob
|
||||
2. Copy `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN`
|
||||
|
||||
**Local Development**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
vercel env pull .env.local
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Creates `.env.local`:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN="vercel_blob_rw_xxx"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Points:**
|
||||
- Free tier: 100GB bandwidth/month
|
||||
- File size limit: 500MB per file
|
||||
- Automatic CDN distribution
|
||||
- Public files are cached globally
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Server-Side Upload
|
||||
|
||||
**Next.js Server Action:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use server';
|
||||
|
||||
import { put } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function uploadAvatar(formData: FormData) {
|
||||
const file = formData.get('avatar') as File;
|
||||
|
||||
// Validate file
|
||||
if (!file.type.startsWith('image/')) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Only images allowed');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (file.size > 5 * 1024 * 1024) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Max file size: 5MB');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Upload
|
||||
const blob = await put(`avatars/${Date.now()}-${file.name}`, file, {
|
||||
access: 'public',
|
||||
addRandomSuffix: false
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
url: blob.url,
|
||||
pathname: blob.pathname
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**API Route (Edge Runtime):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { put } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
export const runtime = 'edge';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function POST(request: Request) {
|
||||
const formData = await request.formData();
|
||||
const file = formData.get('file') as File;
|
||||
|
||||
const blob = await put(file.name, file, { access: 'public' });
|
||||
|
||||
return Response.json(blob);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Client-Side Upload (Presigned URLs)
|
||||
|
||||
**Create Upload Token (Server Action):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use server';
|
||||
|
||||
import { handleUpload, type HandleUploadBody } from '@vercel/blob/client';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function getUploadToken(filename: string) {
|
||||
const jsonResponse = await handleUpload({
|
||||
body: {
|
||||
type: 'blob.generate-client-token',
|
||||
payload: {
|
||||
pathname: `uploads/${filename}`,
|
||||
access: 'public',
|
||||
onUploadCompleted: {
|
||||
callbackUrl: `${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_URL}/api/upload-complete`
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
request: new Request('https://dummy'),
|
||||
onBeforeGenerateToken: async (pathname) => {
|
||||
// Optional: validate user permissions
|
||||
return {
|
||||
allowedContentTypes: ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/webp'],
|
||||
maximumSizeInBytes: 5 * 1024 * 1024 // 5MB
|
||||
};
|
||||
},
|
||||
onUploadCompleted: async ({ blob, tokenPayload }) => {
|
||||
console.log('Upload completed:', blob.url);
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return jsonResponse;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Client Upload:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use client';
|
||||
|
||||
import { upload } from '@vercel/blob/client';
|
||||
import { getUploadToken } from './actions';
|
||||
|
||||
export function UploadForm() {
|
||||
async function handleSubmit(e: React.FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) {
|
||||
e.preventDefault();
|
||||
const form = e.currentTarget;
|
||||
const file = (form.elements.namedItem('file') as HTMLInputElement).files?.[0];
|
||||
|
||||
if (!file) return;
|
||||
|
||||
const tokenResponse = await getUploadToken(file.name);
|
||||
|
||||
const blob = await upload(file.name, file, {
|
||||
access: 'public',
|
||||
handleUploadUrl: tokenResponse.url
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
console.log('Uploaded:', blob.url);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
return (
|
||||
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
|
||||
<input type="file" name="file" required />
|
||||
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
|
||||
</form>
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: List, Download, Delete
|
||||
|
||||
**List Files:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { list } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
const { blobs } = await list({
|
||||
prefix: 'avatars/',
|
||||
limit: 100
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Returns: { url, pathname, size, uploadedAt, ... }[]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**List with Pagination:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
let cursor: string | undefined;
|
||||
const allBlobs = [];
|
||||
|
||||
do {
|
||||
const { blobs, cursor: nextCursor } = await list({
|
||||
prefix: 'uploads/',
|
||||
cursor
|
||||
});
|
||||
allBlobs.push(...blobs);
|
||||
cursor = nextCursor;
|
||||
} while (cursor);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Download File:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Files are publicly accessible if access: 'public'
|
||||
const url = 'https://xyz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/file.pdf';
|
||||
const response = await fetch(url);
|
||||
const blob = await response.blob();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Delete File:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { del } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
await del('https://xyz.public.blob.vercel-storage.com/file.jpg');
|
||||
|
||||
// Or delete multiple
|
||||
await del([url1, url2, url3]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 5: Streaming & Multipart
|
||||
|
||||
**Streaming Upload:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { put } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
import { createReadStream } from 'fs';
|
||||
|
||||
const stream = createReadStream('./large-file.mp4');
|
||||
|
||||
const blob = await put('videos/large-file.mp4', stream, {
|
||||
access: 'public',
|
||||
contentType: 'video/mp4'
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Multipart Upload (Large Files >500MB):**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { createMultipartUpload, uploadPart, completeMultipartUpload } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
// 1. Start multipart upload
|
||||
const upload = await createMultipartUpload('large-video.mp4', {
|
||||
access: 'public'
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// 2. Upload parts (chunks)
|
||||
const partSize = 100 * 1024 * 1024; // 100MB chunks
|
||||
const parts = [];
|
||||
|
||||
for (let i = 0; i < totalParts; i++) {
|
||||
const chunk = getChunk(i, partSize);
|
||||
const part = await uploadPart(chunk, {
|
||||
uploadId: upload.uploadId,
|
||||
partNumber: i + 1
|
||||
});
|
||||
parts.push(part);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// 3. Complete upload
|
||||
const blob = await completeMultipartUpload({
|
||||
uploadId: upload.uploadId,
|
||||
parts
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Always Do
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Use client upload tokens for client-side uploads** - Never expose `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` to client
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Set correct access level** - `public` (CDN) or `private` (authenticated access)
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Validate file types and sizes** - Before upload, check MIME type and size
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Use pathname organization** - `avatars/`, `uploads/`, `documents/` for structure
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Handle upload errors** - Network failures, size limits, token expiration
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Clean up old files** - Delete unused files to manage storage costs
|
||||
|
||||
✅ **Set content-type explicitly** - For correct browser handling (videos, PDFs)
|
||||
|
||||
### Never Do
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never expose `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` to client** - Use `handleUpload()` for client uploads
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never skip file validation** - Always validate type, size, content before upload
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never upload files >500MB without multipart** - Use multipart upload for large files
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never use generic filenames** - `file.jpg` collides, use `${timestamp}-${name}` or UUID
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never assume uploads succeed** - Always handle errors (network, quota, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never store sensitive data unencrypted** - Encrypt before upload if needed
|
||||
|
||||
❌ **Never forget to delete temporary files** - Old uploads consume quota
|
||||

|
||||
## Known Issues Prevention
|
||||
|
||||
This skill prevents **10 documented issues**:
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #1: Missing Environment Variable
|
||||
**Error**: `Error: BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN is not defined`
|
||||
**Source**: https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Token not set in environment
|
||||
**Prevention**: Run `vercel env pull .env.local` and ensure `.env.local` in `.gitignore`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #2: Client Upload Token Exposed
|
||||
**Error**: Security vulnerability, unauthorized uploads
|
||||
**Source**: https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/client-upload
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Using `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN` directly in client code
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use `handleUpload()` to generate client-specific tokens with constraints.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #3: File Size Limit Exceeded
|
||||
**Error**: `Error: File size exceeds limit` (500MB)
|
||||
**Source**: https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/limits
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Uploading file >500MB without multipart upload
|
||||
**Prevention**: Validate file size before upload, use multipart upload for large files.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #4: Wrong Content-Type
|
||||
**Error**: Browser downloads file instead of displaying (e.g., PDF opens as text)
|
||||
**Source**: Production debugging
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Not setting `contentType` option, Blob guesses incorrectly
|
||||
**Prevention**: Always set `contentType: file.type` or explicit MIME type.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #5: Public File Not Cached
|
||||
**Error**: Slow file delivery, high egress costs
|
||||
**Source**: Vercel Blob best practices
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Using `access: 'private'` for files that should be public
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use `access: 'public'` for publicly accessible files (CDN caching).
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #6: List Pagination Not Handled
|
||||
**Error**: Only first 1000 files returned, missing files
|
||||
**Source**: https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/using-blob-sdk#list
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Not iterating with cursor for large file lists
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use cursor-based pagination in loop until `cursor` is undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #7: Delete Fails Silently
|
||||
**Error**: Files not deleted, storage quota fills up
|
||||
**Source**: https://github.com/vercel/storage/issues/150
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Using wrong URL format, blob not found
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use full blob URL from `put()` response, check deletion result.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #8: Upload Timeout (Large Files)
|
||||
**Error**: `Error: Request timeout` for files >100MB
|
||||
**Source**: Vercel function timeout limits
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Serverless function timeout (10s free tier, 60s pro)
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use client-side upload with `handleUpload()` for large files.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #9: Filename Collisions
|
||||
**Error**: Files overwritten, data loss
|
||||
**Source**: Production debugging
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Using same filename for multiple uploads
|
||||
**Prevention**: Add timestamp/UUID: `` `uploads/${Date.now()}-${file.name}` `` or `addRandomSuffix: true`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #10: Missing Upload Callback
|
||||
**Error**: Upload completes but app state not updated
|
||||
**Source**: https://vercel.com/docs/storage/vercel-blob/client-upload#callback-after-upload
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Not implementing `onUploadCompleted` callback
|
||||
**Prevention**: Use `onUploadCompleted` in `handleUpload()` to update database/state.

|
||||
|
||||
## Common Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: Avatar Upload
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use server';
|
||||
|
||||
import { put, del } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function updateAvatar(userId: string, formData: FormData) {
|
||||
const file = formData.get('avatar') as File;
|
||||
|
||||
// Validate
|
||||
if (!file.type.startsWith('image/')) {
|
||||
throw new Error('Only images allowed');
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Delete old avatar
|
||||
const user = await db.query.users.findFirst({ where: eq(users.id, userId) });
|
||||
if (user?.avatarUrl) {
|
||||
await del(user.avatarUrl);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Upload new
|
||||
const blob = await put(`avatars/${userId}.jpg`, file, {
|
||||
access: 'public',
|
||||
contentType: file.type
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Update database
|
||||
await db.update(users).set({ avatarUrl: blob.url }).where(eq(users.id, userId));
|
||||
|
||||
return blob.url;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Protected File Upload
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
'use server';
|
||||
|
||||
import { put } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
import { auth } from '@/lib/auth';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function uploadDocument(formData: FormData) {
|
||||
const session = await auth();
|
||||
if (!session) throw new Error('Unauthorized');
|
||||
|
||||
const file = formData.get('document') as File;
|
||||
|
||||
// Upload as private
|
||||
const blob = await put(`documents/${session.user.id}/${file.name}`, file, {
|
||||
access: 'private' // Requires authentication to access
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Store in database with user reference
|
||||
await db.insert(documents).values({
|
||||
userId: session.user.id,
|
||||
url: blob.url,
|
||||
filename: file.name,
|
||||
size: file.size
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return blob;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: Image Gallery with Pagination
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { list } from '@vercel/blob';
|
||||
|
||||
export async function getGalleryImages(cursor?: string) {
|
||||
const { blobs, cursor: nextCursor } = await list({
|
||||
prefix: 'gallery/',
|
||||
limit: 20,
|
||||
cursor
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
const images = blobs.map(blob => ({
|
||||
url: blob.url,
|
||||
uploadedAt: blob.uploadedAt,
|
||||
size: blob.size
|
||||
}));
|
||||
|
||||
return { images, nextCursor };
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: `BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN is not defined`
|
||||
**Solution**: Run `vercel env pull .env.local`, ensure `.env.local` in `.gitignore`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: File size exceeded (>500MB)
|
||||
**Solution**: Use multipart upload with `createMultipartUpload()` API.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Client upload fails with token error
|
||||
**Solution**: Ensure using `handleUpload()` server-side, don't expose read/write token to client.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Files not deleting
|
||||
**Solution**: Use exact URL from `put()` response, check `del()` return value.
