A customizable iOS photo viewer view controller for displaying single or multiple photos with Facebook-like interactions.
DTPhotoViewerController is an iOS library that provides a fully customizable photo viewer view controller for displaying single images or collections of photos. It enables smooth transitions and gestures, replicating the intuitive photo viewing experience found in apps like Facebook, making it easy to integrate professional photo galleries into any iOS application.
iOS developers building apps that require embedded photo galleries or viewers, such as social media, e-commerce, or media-heavy applications.
Developers choose DTPhotoViewerController for its high customizability through subclassing and protocols, native fluid experience with referenced-view transitions, and simplicity in integrating both single and multiple photo displays.
A fully customizable photo viewer ViewController to display single photo or collection of photos, inspired by Facebook photo viewer.

Uses referenced views for seamless zoom animations between thumbnails and full-screen, replicating the fluid experience of apps like Facebook, as shown in the demo GIF.
Allows subclassing of DTPhotoCollectionViewCell to add custom UI elements per photo, enabling fine-grained customization through registerClassPhotoViewer or registerNibForPhotoViewer methods.
Includes built-in support for zooming, panning, and dismiss gestures, providing an intuitive, native-like photo viewing experience without extra code.
For displaying a single image, only requires passing a UIImageView and UIImage instance, making integration straightforward with minimal code, as demonstrated in the README example.
Lacks built-in features for image caching, network loading, or pagination, forcing developers to handle data separately with additional libraries or custom code.
Designed solely for UIKit, making it incompatible with SwiftUI without bridging via UIViewControllerRepresentable, which adds complexity for modern iOS projects.
Advanced usage requires implementing data source and delegate protocols, along with cell subclassing, increasing development time compared to more opinionated libraries.
