Designing a cohesive media experience for Android can be a lot of work. Telephoto aims to make that easier by offering some building blocks for Compose UI.

Zoomable Image

Drop-in replacement for Image() composables featuring support for pan & zoom gestures and automatic sub‑sampling of large images that'd otherwise not fit into memory.

Modifier.zoomable()

ZoomableImage's gesture detector, packaged as a standalone Modifier that can be used with videos and other non-image composables.

Zoomable Peek Overlay

Transient, overlaid zoom effect inspired by Instagram.

See project website for full documentation.
