What is Kingfisher FOR MAC?

Kingfisher

Kingfisher is a popular Swift library that helps your app download and cache images from the web. It's super easy to use on macOS, iOS, tvOS, and watchOS since it's all written in Swift. Plus, it works great with SwiftUI and has all the tools you need for handling different image tasks.

Fast Image Downloading & Caching

This library offers asynchronous downloading and caching, which means it can grab images without slowing down your app. You can even customize how caching works! If you need to stop a download, no problem—you can cancel it anytime. And if you’ve downloaded an image before, Kingfisher lets you reuse that content to boost performance.

Easy Integration with UI Elements

Kingfisher makes it easy to set images from URLs on various UI elements like UIImageView, NSImageView, NSButton, UIButton, NSTextAttachment, WKInterfaceImage, TVMonogramView, and CPListItem. It also supports transition animations and shows placeholders or loading indicators while the images are being fetched.

Advanced Image Processing Features

If you're looking to do more than just display images, Kingfisher has got your back! You can downsample images for smaller sizes, crop them as needed or even blur them. Want to tweak colors or round corners? No worries—this library allows those adjustments too.

Modular Components for Flexibility

The great thing about Kingfisher is its modular design. Each part of the library—the downloader, caching system, and image processors—can be used separately based on what you need for your project.
