An Android library providing a highly configurable, extendable image view for displaying very large images with deep zoom support. It uses subsampling and tiling to load only visible high-resolution regions, avoiding OutOfMemoryError while supporting pinch-to-zoom, panning, rotation, and animations.

Use cases

  • display huge images in an Android photo gallery without running out of memory
  • show zoomable maps or building plans in an Android app
  • add pinch-to-zoom and panning to large images
  • load high-resolution tiles of a large image as the user zooms in
  • display a preview image while a large image loads
  • overlay custom markers or annotations on a zoomable image

When to choose

  • your Android app must display very large images (maps, plans, high-res photos) with smooth zooming
  • you need to avoid OutOfMemoryError when showing high-resolution images
  • you want configurable zoom gestures, rotation, and animation out of the box
  • you need to extend an image view with overlays and custom touch handling

When to avoid

  • you only need to display small images that fit comfortably in memory
  • you are building for platforms other than Android
  • you need a full photo gallery UI rather than just an image view component
  • your project requires Kotlin-first or Jetpack Compose-native solutions without interop
