waitForImages is a jQuery plugin that attaches callbacks to image loading events for descendant images, including CSS background images and srcset attributes. It supports both callback and promise-based APIs to detect when all images have loaded.
Use cases
- run code after all images on a page have loaded
- fix incorrect element dimensions in WebKit before images load
- track per-image loading progress with callbacks
- wait for CSS background images to finish loading
- trigger animations once images are ready
When to choose
- you maintain a legacy jQuery codebase needing image load callbacks
- you need to handle background-image and srcset loading detection
- you want promise-based image loading in jQuery
When to avoid
- you are building a modern app without jQuery
- you need lazy loading or image optimization rather than load events
- you need framework-native image handling in React or Vue
