FLAnimatedImage is a performant animated GIF engine for iOS:
- Plays multiple GIFs simultaneously with a playback speed comparable to desktop browsers
- Honors variable frame delays
- Behaves gracefully under memory pressure
- Eliminates delays or blocking during the first playback loop
- Interprets the frame delays of fast GIFs the same way modern browsers do
It's a well-tested component that powers all GIFs in Flipboard. To understand its behavior it comes with an interactive demo:
Who is this for?
- Apps that don't support animated GIFs yet
- Apps that already support animated GIFs but want a higher performance solution
- People who want to tinker with the code (the corresponding blog post is a great place to start; also see the To Do section below)
