Img2 is a web component library that replaces standard <img> elements with an <img-2> custom element to pre-cache images off the main thread and lazy load them as they enter the viewport. It displays blurred low-resolution previews while full-size images load, improving perceived page performance.

Use cases

• lazy load images as they scroll into view
• pre-cache images with a web worker to avoid jank
• show blurred placeholder previews while images load
• improve initial page load performance with many images
• replace img tags with a drop-in web component

When to choose

• you want a simple drop-in replacement for <img> with lazy loading and pre-caching
• your page displays many high-quality images and suffers from slow initial load or jank
• you want blurred placeholder previews without writing custom JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained solution - the project has had no releases since 2018
• you already use a modern framework with built-in image optimization or a maintained lazy-loading library
• you need advanced features like responsive srcset or art direction
