What is FLAnimatedImage?

FLAnimatedImage is a performant animated GIF engine for iOS:

  • Plays multiple GIFs simultaneously with a playback speed comparable to desktop browsers
  • Honors variable frame delays
  • Behaves gracefully under memory pressure
  • Eliminates delays or blocking during the first playback loop
  • Interprets the frame delays of fast GIFs the same way modern browsers do

It’s a well-tested component that powers all GIFs in Flipboard.
