Flutter Progressive Image

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

Features

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