Answer 1

You can check image like below

let url1 : String = "https://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.mp4"
        let imageExtensions = ["png", "jpg", "gif"]
        //...
        // Iterate & match the URL objects from your checking results
        let url: URL? = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: url1) as URL
        let pathExtention = url?.pathExtension
            if imageExtensions.contains(pathExtention!)
            {
                print("Image URL: \(String(describing: url))")
                // Do something with it
            }else
            {
               print("Movie URL: \(String(describing: url))")
            }

Same you can check for video
