react-native-image-picker is a cross-platform mobile media picker used to select images and videos from a system gallery or capture new media via the device camera. It serves as a native device camera interface and a mobile gallery file picker for accessing local storage.
The library includes a media metadata extractor to retrieve technical details from selected files, such as image dimensions, file size, video duration, and EXIF data.
The project provides a bridge between JavaScript and native mobile operating systems to trigger system-provided gallery and camera interfaces. It handles the extraction of file properties and the integration of media selection workflows for uploading files to a server.
