# Image Loading System

Nuke ILS provides an efficient way to download and display images in your app. It's easy to learn and use thanks to a clear and concise API. Its architecture enables many powerful features while offering virtually unlimited possibilities for customization. Despite the number of features, the framework is lean and compiles in under 2 seconds[¹](#footnote-1). Nuke has an automated test suite 2x the size of the codebase itself, ensuring excellent reliability. Every feature is carefully designed and optimized for [performance](https://kean.blog/post/nuke-9). > **Fast LRU memory and disk cache** · **SwiftUI** · **Smart background decompression** · **Image processing** · **Resumable downloads** · **Intelligent deduplication** · **Request prioritization** · **Prefetching** · **Rate limiting** · **Progressive JPEG, HEIF, WebP, SVG, GIF** · **Alamofire** · **Combine** · **Reactive extensions** ## Sponsors [](https://getstream.io/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=nuke&utm_campaign=sponsorship) Nuke is proudly sponsored by [Stream](https://getstream.io/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=nuke&utm_campaign=sponsorship), the leading provider in enterprise grade [Feed](https://getstream.io/activity-feeds/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=nuke&utm_campaign=sponsorship) & [Chat](https://getstream.io/chat/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=nuke&utm_campaign=sponsorship) APIs.
