This library provides an async image downloader with cache support. For convenience, we added categories for UI elements like UIImageView
, UIButton
, MKAnnotationView
.
Features
- Categories for
UIImageView
,UIButton
,MKAnnotationView
adding web image and cache management - An asynchronous image downloader
- An asynchronous memory + disk image caching with automatic cache expiration handling
- A background image decompression to avoid frame rate drop
- Progressive image loading (including animated image, like GIF showing in Web browser)
- Thumbnail image decoding to save CPU && Memory for large images
- Extendable image coder to support massive image format, like WebP
- Full-stack solution for animated images which keep a balance between CPU && Memory
- Customizable and composable transformations can be applied to the images right after download
- Customizable and multiple caches system
- Customizable and multiple loaders system to expand the capabilities, like Photos Library
- Image loading indicators
- Image loading transition animation
- A guarantee that the same URL won't be downloaded several times
- A guarantee that bogus URLs won't be retried again and again
- A guarantee that main thread will never be blocked
- Modern Objective-C and better Swift support
- Performances!
Supported Image Formats
- Image formats supported by UIImage (JPEG, PNG, HEIC, ...), including GIF/APNG/HEIC animation
- WebP format, including animated WebP (use the SDWebImageWebPCoder project)
- Support extendable coder plugins for new image formats like BPG, AVIF. And vector format like PDF, SVG. See all the list in Image coder plugin List
Additional modules
In order to keep SDWebImage focused and limited to the core features, but also allow extensibility and custom behaviors, during the 5.0 refactoring we focused on modularizing the library. As such, we have moved/built new modules to SDWebImage org.
SwiftUI
SwiftUI is an innovative UI framework written in Swift to build user interfaces across all Apple platforms.
We support SwiftUI by building with the functions (caching, loading and animation) powered by SDWebImage. You can have a try with SDWebImageSwiftUI
Coders for additional image formats
- SDWebImageWebPCoder - coder for WebP image format. Based on libwebp
- SDWebImageHEIFCoder - coder to support HEIF image without Apple's
Image/IO framework
, iOS 8+/macOS 10.10+ support. - SDWebImageBPGCoder - coder for BPG format
- SDWebImageFLIFCoder - coder for FLIF format
- SDWebImageAVIFCoder - coder for AVIF (AV1-based) format
- SDWebImagePDFCoder - coder for PDF vector format image
- SDWebImageSVGCoder - coder for SVG vector format image
- and more from community!
Loaders
- SDWebImagePhotosPlugin - plugin to support loading images from Photos (using
Photos.framework
) - SDWebImageLinkPlugin - plugin to support loading images from rich link url, as well as
LPLinkView
(usingLinkPresentation.framework
)
Integration with 3rd party libraries
- SDWebImageFLPlugin - plugin to support FLAnimatedImage as the engine for animated GIFs
- SDWebImageYYPlugin - plugin to integrate YYImage & YYCache for image rendering & caching

How To Use
- Objective-C
#import <SDWebImage/SDWebImage.h>
...
[imageView sd_setImageWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg"]
placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder.png"]];
- Swift
import SDWebImage
imageView.sd_setImage(with: URL(string: "http://www.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg"), placeholderImage: UIImage(named: "placeholder.png"))

Animated Images (GIF) support
In 5.0, we introduced a brand new mechanism for supporting animated images. This includes animated image loading, rendering, decoding, and also supports customizations (for advanced users).
This animated image solution is available for iOS
/tvOS
/macOS
. The SDAnimatedImage
is subclass of UIImage/NSImage
, and SDAnimatedImageView
is subclass of UIImageView/NSImageView
, to make them compatible with the common frameworks APIs. See Animated Image for more detailed information.
FLAnimatedImage integration has its own dedicated repo
In order to clean up things and make our core project do less things, we decided that the FLAnimatedImage
integration does not belong here. From 5.0, this will still be available, but under a dedicated repo SDWebImageFLPlugin.
Installation
There are four ways to use SDWebImage in your project:
- using CocoaPods
- using Carthage
- using Swift Package Manager
- manual install (build frameworks or embed Xcode Project)
Installation with CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries in your projects. See the Get Started section for more details.
Podfile
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'SDWebImage', '~> 5.0'
Swift and static framework
Swift project previously have to use use_frameworks!
to make all Pods into dynamic framework to let CocoaPods works.
However, start with CocoaPods 1.5.0+
(with Xcode 9+
), which supports to build both Objective-C && Swift code into static framework. You can use modular headers to use SDWebImage as static framework, without the need of use_frameworks!
:
platform :ios, '8.0'
# Uncomment the next line when you want all Pods as static framework
# use_modular_headers!
pod 'SDWebImage', :modular_headers => true
See more on CocoaPods 1.5.0 — Swift Static Libraries
If not, you still need to add use_frameworks!
to use SDWebImage as dynamic framework:
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'SDWebImage'
Subspecs
There are 2 subspecs available now: Core
and MapKit
(this means you can install only some of the SDWebImage modules. By default, you get just Core
, so if you need MapKit
, you need to specify it).
Podfile example:
pod 'SDWebImage/MapKit'
Installation with Carthage (iOS 8+)
Carthage is a lightweight dependency manager for Swift and Objective-C. It leverages CocoaTouch modules and is less invasive than CocoaPods.
To install with carthage, follow the instruction on Carthage
Carthage users can point to this repository and use whichever generated framework they'd like: SDWebImage, SDWebImageMapKit or both.
Make the following entry in your Cartfile: github "SDWebImage/SDWebImage"
Then run carthage update
If this is your first time using Carthage in the project, you'll need to go through some additional steps as explained over at Carthage.
NOTE: At this time, Carthage does not provide a way to build only specific repository subcomponents (or equivalent of CocoaPods's subspecs). All components and their dependencies will be built with the above command. However, you don't need to copy frameworks you aren't using into your project. For instance, if you aren't using
SDWebImageMapKit
, feel free to delete that framework from the Carthage Build directory aftercarthage update
completes.
Installation with Swift Package Manager (Xcode 11+)
Swift Package Manager (SwiftPM) is a tool for managing the distribution of Swift code as well as C-family dependency. From Xcode 11, SwiftPM got natively integrated with Xcode.
SDWebImage support SwiftPM from version 5.1.0. To use SwiftPM, you should use Xcode 11 to open your project. Click File
-> Swift Packages
-> Add Package Dependency
, enter SDWebImage repo's URL. Or you can login Xcode with your GitHub account and just type SDWebImage
to search.
After select the package, you can choose the dependency type (tagged version, branch or commit). Then Xcode will setup all the stuff for you.
If you're a framework author and use SDWebImage as a dependency, update your Package.swift
file:
let package = Package(
// 5.1.0 ..< 6.0.0
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/SDWebImage/SDWebImage.git", from: "5.1.0")
],
// ...
)
Manual Installation Guide
See more on Manual install Guide
Import headers in your source files
In the source files where you need to use the library, import the umbrella header file:
#import <SDWebImage/SDWebImage.h>
Build Project
At this point your workspace should build without error. If you are having problem, post to the Issue and the community can help you solve it.
