Download Kingfisher 7.3.2 (Mac) – Download Free

kingfisher is a well-known and widely used Swift library that allows your application to download and cache images from the web. It’s written entirely in Swift and is very easy to implement on macOS, iOS, tvOS and watchOS. It supports SwiftUI and includes functions to handle a large number of image-related operations.

The library features asynchronous downloads and caching, and the caching behavior can be largely customized. Downloads can be canceled, and previously downloaded content can be reused to maximize performance.

Extensions are available for UIImageView, NSImageView, NSButton, UIButton, NSTextAttachment, WKInterfaceImage, TVMonogramView, and CPListItem to allow setting images from URLs. Includes transition animations, and placeholders and indicators when images are loaded.

Advanced image processing is supported if you want to go beyond just downloading and displaying files. For example, images can be downsampled, cropped, and blurred, colors can be adjusted, and corners can be rounded.

Each component of the library, namely the downloader, cache system and image processor, is used individually according to your use case.

The project’s GitHub page contains detailed documentation covering all of the library’s functionality, as well as a cheat sheet for using the various Kingfisher components, as well as helpful examples. A full API reference is also provided.
