If you just want to load image  Asynchronously   - just add this small extension to your swift code   extension UIImageView       public func imageFromUrl urlString  String            if let url   NSURL string  urlString                let request   NSURLRequest URL  url              NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest request  queue  NSOperationQueue mainQueue                       response  NSURLResponse   data  NSData   error  NSError   - gt  Void in                 if let imageData   data as NSData                        self image   UIImage data  imageData                                                      And use it this way   myImageView imageFromUrl  https   robohash org 123 png

A method for getting the image that is safe and works with Swift 2 0 and X-Code 7 1   static func imageForImageURLString imageURLString  String  completion   image  UIImage   success  Bool  - gt  Void        guard let url   NSURL string  imageURLString           let data   NSData contentsOfURL  url           let image   UIImage data  data          else                completion image  nil  success  false                return                completion image  image  success  true      You would then call this method like so    imageForImageURLString imageString     image  success  - gt  Void in         if success               guard let image   image                   else   return      Error handling here                 You now have the image              else                  Error handling here                    If you are updating the view with the image  you will have to use this after the  if success          dispatch async dispatch get main queue         - gt  Void in          guard let image   image                else   return      Error handling here              You now have the image  Use the image to update the view or anything UI related here             Reload the view  so the image appears         The reason this last part is needed if you are using the image in the UI is because network calls take time  If you try to update the UI using the image without calling dispatch async like above  the computer will look for the image while the image is still being fetched  find that there is no image  yet   and move on as if there was no image found  Putting your code inside of a dispatch async completion closure says to the computer   Go  get this image and when you are done  then complete this code   That way  you will have the image when the code is called and things will work well

I recommend using Kingfisher library to download images asynchronously  The best part about using Kingfisher is  it caches all the downloaded images by default with the image url as an id  Next time when you request to download image with that particular URl  it will load  it from cache   Usage   newsImage kf setImage with  imageUrl   placeholder  nil  options  nil  progressBlock  nil  completionHandler     image  error  cacheType  imageUrl  in                 if error    nil                      self activityIndicator stopAnimating                    else if error    nil                      self activityIndicator stopAnimating

Swift 4 update  To answer the original question directly  here s the swift equivalent of the posted Objective-C snippet   let url   URL string  image url  let data   try  Data contentsOf  url     make sure your image in this url does exist  otherwise unwrap in a if let check   try-catch imageView image   UIImage data  data       DISCLAIMER   It s important to note that the Data contentsOf   method will download the contents of the url synchronously in the same thread the code is being executed  so do not invoke this in the main thread of your application   An easy way to make the same code run asynchronously  not blocking the UI  is by using GCD   let url   URL string  image url   DispatchQueue global   async       let data   try  Data contentsOf  url     make sure your image in this url does exist  otherwise unwrap in a if let check   try-catch     DispatchQueue main async           imageView image   UIImage data  data             That said  in real life applications  if you want to have the best User Experience and avoid multiple downloads of the same image  you may want to also have them not only downloaded  but cached  There s already quite a few libraries that does that very seamless and they are all really easy to use  I personally recommend Kingfisher   import Kingfisher  let url   URL string   url of your image      this downloads the image asynchronously if it s not cached yet imageView kf setImage with  url     And that s it

For better performance in UITableView or UICollectionView use light weight library Smart Lazy Loading You can use this lazy loading approach if you want to load images from url Asynchronous   Smart  Lazy Loading  in UICollectionView or UITableView using NSOperation and NSOperationQueue in iOS So in this project we can download the multiple images in any View  UICollectionView or UITableView  by optimising the performance of an app by using Operation and OperationQueue for concurrency  following are the key point of this project Smart Lazy Loading  Creating image download Service  Prioritise the downloading based on the visibility of cells   ImageDownloadService class will create a singleton instance and have NSCache instance to cache the images that have been downloaded  We have inherited the Operation class to TOperation to mauled the functionality according to our need  I think the properties of the operation subclass are pretty clear in terms of functionality  We are monitoring operations changes of state by using KVO
