react-native-fast-image
A performant React Native image component with aggressive caching, priority loading, and GIF support.
What is react-native-fast-image?
FastImage is a high-performance replacement for React Native's built-in Image component, designed to solve common issues like flickering, cache misses, and slow loading times. It provides a seamless experience by leveraging native iOS and Android libraries (SDWebImage on iOS, Glide on Android) for superior image handling.
React Native developers building mobile apps where image performance, caching, and smooth loading are critical, such as in social media, e-commerce, or media-heavy applications.
Developers choose FastImage over the default Image component for its aggressive caching, priority loading, preloading, and GIF support, which collectively eliminate flickering and improve load times. Its direct integration with proven native libraries ensures reliable, platform-optimized performance.
