What is a better library for Android. Picasso or Glide and why? I'm using Picasso at this moment but the images are loading very slow. Is Glide faster then Picasso?

Neither Glide nor Picasso is perfect. The way Glide loads an image to memory and do the caching is better than Picasso which let an image loaded far faster. In addition, it also helps preventing an app from popular OutOfMemoryError. GIF Animation loading is a killing feature provided by Glide. Anyway Picasso decodes an image with better quality than Glide.
