FastImageCache is an Objective-C iOS library for persistently storing and retrieving images at high speed, designed to keep scrolling smooth in graphics-rich apps. It stores similarly sized images together on disk and returns them far faster than traditional per-file loading.

Use cases

  • display images smoothly while scrolling in an iOS app
  • cache user profile photos on disk for fast retrieval
  • speed up image loading in a photo feed
  • avoid slow disk reads of individual image files
  • manage automatic cache expiry based on usage recency

When to choose

  • your iOS app scrolls through many similarly sized images and disk loading is a bottleneck
  • you need persistent image caching with fast decode-aligned rendering

When to avoid

  • you need network image downloading and async loading out of the box (use SDWebImage or Kingfisher)
  • your project targets modern Swift-first architectures, as the library is legacy Objective-C with infrequent releases
