Telephoto is a Kotlin library providing building blocks for designing media experiences in Jetpack Compose UI on Android. It offers a drop-in zoomable Image replacement with sub-sampling for large images, a standalone zoomable Modifier, and an Instagram-style peek overlay effect.

Use cases

• display zoomable images in a Compose Android app
• pan and zoom large images without running out of memory
• add pinch-to-zoom gestures to videos or custom composables
• build an Instagram-like photo viewer
• replace Image() with a zoomable drop-in equivalent
• implement transient zoom peek effects on media

When to choose

• you're building an Android app with Jetpack Compose that shows images or media
• you need to display very large images that don't fit in memory
• you want polished pan/zoom gesture behavior without writing it yourself

When to avoid

• your app doesn't use Jetpack Compose
• you target platforms other than Android
• you only need simple static image display without zoom
