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
