Requirement	Key
Select image/video from photos	NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription

Note: This library does not require Manifest.permission.CAMERA, if your app declares as using this permission in manifest then you have to obtain the permission before using launchCamera.

API Reference

Methods

import {launchCamera, launchImageLibrary} from 'react-native-image-picker';

`launchCamera()`

Launch camera to take photo or video.

launchCamera(options?, callback);

// You can also use as a promise without 'callback':
const result = await launchCamera(options?);

See Options for further information on options.

The callback will be called with a response object, refer to The Response Object.

`launchImageLibrary`

Launch gallery to pick image or video.

launchImageLibrary(options?, callback)

// You can also use as a promise without 'callback':
const result = await launchImageLibrary(options?);

See Options for further information on options.

The callback will be called with a response object, refer to The Response Object.

includeExtra	OK	OK	NO	If `true`, will include extra data which requires library permissions to be requested (i.e. exif data).
saveToPhotos	OK	OK	NO	(Boolean) Only for `launchCamera`, saves the image/video file captured to public photo.
selectionLimit	OK	OK	OK	Supports providing any integer value. Use `0` to allow any number of files on iOS version >= 14 & Android version >= 13. Default is `1`.

The Response Object

key	iOS	Android	Web	Description
didCancel	OK	OK	OK	`true` if the user cancelled the process
errorCode	OK	OK	OK	Check ErrorCode for all error codes
errorMessage	OK	OK	OK	Description of the error, use it for debug purpose only

Asset Object

key	iOS	Android	Web	Photo/Video	Requires Permissions	Description
base64	OK	OK	OK	PHOTO ONLY	NO	The base64 string of the image (photos only)
uri	OK	OK	OK	BOTH	NO	The file uri in app specific cache storage. Except when picking video from Android gallery where you will get read only content uri, to get file uri in this case copy the file to app specific storage using any react-native library. For web it uses the base64 as uri.
originalPath	NO	OK	NO	BOTH	NO	The original file path.
width	OK	OK	OK	BOTH	NO	Asset dimensions
height	OK	OK	OK	BOTH	NO	Asset dimensions
fileSize	OK	OK	NO	BOTH	NO	The file size
type	OK	OK	NO	BOTH	NO	The file type
fileName	OK	OK	NO	BOTH	NO	The file name
duration	OK	OK	NO	VIDEO ONLY	NO	The selected video duration in seconds
bitrate	---	OK	NO	VIDEO ONLY	NO	The average bitrate (in bits/sec) of the selected video, if available. (Android only)
timestamp	OK	OK	NO	BOTH	YES	Timestamp of the asset. Only included if 'includeExtra' is true
id	OK	OK	NO	BOTH	YES	local identifier of the photo or video. On Android, this is the same as fileName

Note on file storage

Image/video captured via camera will be stored in temporary folder allowing it to be deleted any time, so don't expect it to persist. Use saveToPhotos: true (default is false) to save the file in the public photos. saveToPhotos requires WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission on Android 28 and below (The permission has to obtained by the App manually as the library does not handle that).

For web, this doesn't work.

ErrorCode

Code	Description
camera_unavailable	Camera not available on device
permission	Permission not satisfied
others	Other errors (check errorMessage for description)
