imagesLoaded is a small JavaScript library that detects when images (including background images) inside a container have finished loading. It works as a jQuery plugin or with vanilla JavaScript and reports loaded/broken images via events and callbacks.

Use cases

• detect when all images in a container have loaded
• run a callback after images finish loading before layout or masonry
• detect broken images on a page
• track image loading progress per image
• detect when CSS background images have loaded
• wait for images to load before showing a gallery

When to choose

• you need reliable image load detection in the browser
• you use jQuery and want a plugin-style API with Deferred support
• you need to know about broken images as well as successful loads
• you want a tiny, dependency-light utility

When to avoid

• you need lazy loading or image optimization rather than load detection
• you are working with modern browser APIs and prefer native img.decode() or load events
• you need image processing or manipulation, not loading status
