FastImage
A high-performance image component for React Native, now fully optimized for the New React Native Architecture! 🎉
🚀 What’s New?
FastImage now includes:
- TurboModules and Fabric Renderer compatibility for enhanced performance.
- AVIF Image Support for next-gen image formats.
- Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements over the original repository.
🔥 Why Choose FastImage?
FastImage is a drop-in replacement for React Native’s Image component, offering solutions for common image loading challenges like:
- Flickering during loading
- Cache inconsistencies
- Slow loading from cache
- Overall suboptimal performance
FastImage leverages SDWebImage (iOS) and Glide (Android) for native caching and high efficiency.
Experience blazing-fast images with the latest React Native technology.
⚙️ Features
- ✅ Aggressive caching for high speed.
- ✅ Customizable authorization headers.
- ✅ Priority-based image loading.
- ✅ Preloading for instant display.
- ✅ Full GIF, SVG and AVIF support.
- ✅ Support for
borderRadius. - ✅ Support for Fabric Renderer (v8.7.0+).
- ✅ Support for TurboModules (v8.8.0+).
📦 Installation
To install FastImage in your project, run:
Using yarn:
yarn add @d11/react-native-fast-image
cd ios && pod install
Or using npm:
npm install @d11/react-native-fast-image
cd ios && pod install
Note: You must be using React Native 0.60.0 or higher to use the most recent version of
@d11/react-native-fast-image.
Optional: Disable SVG decoders
If you don't need SVG support, you can disable SVG decoders via an environment variable to reduce native dependencies/binary size:
- iOS (before running CocoaPods):
export DISABLE_SVG=1
cd ios && pod install
- Android (before building):
export DISABLE_SVG=1
# then build as usual, e.g.
yarn android
To re-enable SVG support, unset the variable or set it to 0 and reinstall pods/rebuild.
Usage Example
import FastImage from "@d11/react-native-fast-image";
import * as React from "react";
const YourImage = () => (
<FastImage
style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }}
source={{
uri: "https://unsplash.it/400/400?image=1",
headers: { Authorization: "someAuthToken" },
priority: FastImage.priority.normal,
}}
resizeMode={FastImage.resizeMode.contain}
/>
);
🌐 Already Using Glide with an AppGlideModule?
If you're already using Glide and an AppGlideModule, read this guide to ensure smooth integration.
🛡️ ProGuard Config
If using ProGuard, add these rules to android/app/proguard-rules.pro:
-keep public class com.dylanvann.fastimage.* {*;}
-keep public class com.dylanvann.fastimage.** {*;}
-keep public class * implements com.bumptech.glide.module.GlideModule
-keep public class * extends com.bumptech.glide.module.AppGlideModule
-keep public enum com.bumptech.glide.load.ImageHeaderParser$** {
**[] $VALUES;
public *;
}

Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
source | object | Source for the remote image. Accepts an object with sub-properties like uri, headers, priority, and cache. |
source.uri | string | The URL to load the image from. e.g., "https://unsplash.it/400/400?image=1". |
source.headers | object | Headers to load the image with, e.g., { Authorization: "someAuthToken" }. |
source.priority | FastImage.priority | Load priority: - FastImage.priority.low - FastImage.priority.normal (Default) - FastImage.priority.high |
source.cache | FastImage.cacheControl | Cache control: - FastImage.cacheControl.immutable (Default) - FastImage.cacheControl.web - FastImage.cacheControl.cacheOnly |
defaultSource | number | An asset loaded with require() or import. Note: on Android, defaultSource does not work in debug mode. |
resizeMode | FastImage.resizeMode | Resize mode: - FastImage.resizeMode.contain - FastImage.resizeMode.cover (Default) - FastImage.resizeMode.stretch - FastImage.resizeMode.center |
transition | FastImage.transition | transition applied when displaying the image: - FastImage.transition.none (Default) - FastImage.transition.fade (React Native Image equivalent) |
onLoadStart | function | Callback when the image starts to load. |
onProgress | (event: OnProgressEvent) => void | Callback when the image is loading, with event.nativeEvent.loaded and event.nativeEvent.total bytes. |
onLoad | (event: OnLoadEvent) => void | Callback when the image is successfully loaded, with event.nativeEvent.width and event.nativeEvent.height values. |
onError | (event: OnErrorEvent) => void | Callback when an error occurs in loading the image or the source is malformed, with event.nativeEvent.error. |
onLoadEnd | function | Callback when the image finishes loading, regardless of success or failure. |
style | ViewStyle | Style for the image component, supports borderRadius. |
fallback | boolean | If true, it will fall back to using Image. This still applies styles and layout as with FastImage. |
tintColor | number or string | Color tint for all non-transparent pixels in the image. |
testID | string | Optional ID for testing, such as with react-test-renderer. |
blurRadius | number | Parameter for adjusting the blur in the image. |
Static Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
FastImage.preload(sources: object[]) | Preloads images for faster display when they are rendered. Example: FastImage.preload([{ uri: "https://unsplash.it/400/400?image=1" }]). |
FastImage.clearMemoryCache(): Promise<void> | Clears all images from the memory cache. |
FastImage.clearDiskCache(): Promise<void> | Clears all images from the disk cache. |
