.gif Compose Multiplatform (Android & iOS)
06:12 12 Aug 2025

How can I display .gif images in Compose Multiplatform on Android and iOS?

  • Coil supports gifs only on Android
  • Using a native implementation with UIImageView on iOS doesn't work, since the gifs have a transparent background (& SnizzorsUIView displays it on top of everything incl. e.g. the bottombar, causes more bugs)
  • Kamel didn't work either (I think it uses Coil)

Is there any other way of displaying .gif (or other animated image formats) in Compose Multiplatform on Android and iOS?
