FileKit is a Kotlin Multiplatform library providing a unified API for file operations such as picking files, saving documents, selecting directories, and accessing photos across Android, iOS, macOS, JVM, JS, and WASM. It uses platform-native file pickers and integrates with Compose Multiplatform, Coroutines, kotlinx-io, and Coil.

Use cases

  • pick files from disk in a Kotlin Multiplatform app
  • save documents with a native save dialog on Android, iOS, and desktop
  • open a directory picker in Compose Multiplatform
  • load picked images into Coil AsyncImage from a PlatformFile
  • pick and crop images across iOS, Android, desktop, and web
  • read and write files with a platform-agnostic PlatformFile API

When to choose

  • you are building a Kotlin Multiplatform or Compose Multiplatform app that needs file picking or saving
  • you want one consistent file API across Android, iOS, macOS, JVM, JS, and WASM
  • you want native platform file picker UX with minimal dependencies

When to avoid

  • your project is single-platform and already uses that platform's native file APIs
  • you need advanced file system features beyond pick/save/read/write, like watching or syncing
  • you are not using Kotlin or the JVM ecosystem
