Gifu is a Swift library that adds high-performance, protocol-based animated GIF support to UIKit on iOS, tvOS, and visionOS. It uses a memory-efficient frame buffering Animator so large GIFs can play without loading every frame into memory.
Use cases
- play animated gifs in an ios app
- display large gif files without high memory usage
- add gif animation to a custom uiimageview subclass
- control gif playback start and stop in uikit
- render gifs on tvos or visionos
When to choose
- you need memory-efficient GIF animation in a UIKit app
- you want GIF support composable with any UIView subclass via protocols
- you support iOS, tvOS, or visionOS with Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, or Carthage
When to avoid
- you need animated GIF support in SwiftUI without UIKit interop
- your project targets platforms outside Apple's ecosystem
- you need animated formats beyond GIF, such as WebP or APNG
