An image loading library for Android and Compose Multiplatform. Coil is:
- Fast: Coil performs a number of optimizations including memory and disk caching, downsampling the image, automatically pausing/cancelling requests, and more.
- Lightweight: Coil only depends on Kotlin, Coroutines, and Okio and works seamlessly with Google's R8 code shrinker.
- Easy to use: Coil's API leverages Kotlin's language features for simplicity and minimal boilerplate.
- Modern: Coil is Kotlin-first and interoperates with modern libraries including Compose, Coroutines, Okio, OkHttp, and Ktor.
Coil is an acronym for: Coroutine Image Loader.
