Progressive Image

A flutter widget which progressively loads large images using Low Quality Image Placeholders.

Snapshots

Features

  • Displays placeholder and thumbnail image until the target Image loads.
  • Smooth Fade-in animations for preventing immediate image popups on load.
  • Blur effect for low resolution thumbnail to prevent the pixelated view.
  • Effectively resolves thumbnail image before the target image starts to fetch for quick first impression.
  • Placeholder widgets instead of placeholder images can now be added in v2.0.0
