How to stop animating GIF in SDWebImage?

Question

I'm using SDWebImage to fetch images from web and display them. But some are GIFs, how to stop the GIF?

Do you mean stop the animation? Or removing the gif? I'd like to know the answer to both personally. — ScottyBlades, Jan 09 '18 at 08:12

What you can do to stop the animation is to simply set your SDAnimatedImageView to for example

sdAnimatedImageView.image = SDAnimatedImage(named: "your.gif")?.animatedImageFrame(at: 0)

that way you will get one frame of your gif only and it will not be animated :)

its a hack but does the job

Assuming you are using >= v4.0; from the docs:

Starting with the 4.0 version, we rely on FLAnimatedImage to take care of our animated images.

From FLAnimatedImage's docs; there are 2 ways to control playback:

// An FLAnimatedImageView can take an FLAnimatedImage and plays it automatically when in view hierarchy and stops when removed.

// The animation can also be controlled with the UIImageView methods -start/stop/isAnimating.

I tried stopAnimating, but it didn't work. I will try it later. – JsW Aug 21 '17 at 05:09
