Expo ImageManipulatorA library that provides an API for image manipulation on the local file system.
expo-image-manipulator provides an API to modify images stored on the local file system.
Installation
- npx expo install expo-image-manipulatorIf you are installing this in an existing React Native app, start by installing expo in your project. Then, follow the additional instructions as mentioned by the library's README under "Installation in bare React Native projects" section.
Usage
This will first rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise, then flip the rotated image vertically and save it as a PNG.
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { Button, Image, StyleSheet, View } from 'react-native';
import { Asset } from 'expo-asset';
import { manipulateAsync, FlipType, SaveFormat } from 'expo-image-manipulator';
export default function App() {
const [ready, setReady] = useState(false);
const [image, setImage] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
(async () => {
const image = Asset.fromModule(require('./assets/snack-icon.png'));
await image.downloadAsync();
setImage(image);
setReady(true);
})();
}, []);
const _rotate90andFlip = async () => {
const manipResult = await manipulateAsync(
image.localUri || image.uri,
[{ rotate: 90 }, { flip: FlipType.Vertical }],
{ compress: 1, format: SaveFormat.PNG }
);
setImage(manipResult);
};
const _renderImage = () => (
<View style={styles.imageContainer}>
<Image source={{ uri: image.localUri || image.uri }} style={styles.image} />
</View>
);
return (
<View style={styles.container}>
{ready && image && _renderImage()}
<Button title="Rotate and Flip" onPress={_rotate90andFlip} />
</View>
);
}
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: 'center',
},
imageContainer: {
marginVertical: 20,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
image: {
width: 300,
height: 300,
resizeMode: 'contain',
},
});
API
import * as ImageManipulator from 'expo-image-manipulator';
Methods
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| uri | string | URI of the file to manipulate. Should be on the local file system or a base64 data URI. |
| actions (optional) | Action[] | An array of objects representing manipulation options. Each object should have only one of the keys that corresponds to specific transformation. Default: [] |
| saveOptions (optional) | SaveOptions | A map defining how modified image should be saved. Default: {} |
Manipulate the image provided via uri. Available modifications are rotating, flipping (mirroring),
resizing and cropping. Each invocation results in a new file. With one invocation you can provide
a set of actions to perform over the image. Overwriting the source file would not have an effect
in displaying the result as images are cached.
Promise which fulfils with ImageResult object.

| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| flip | FlipType | An axis on which image will be flipped. Only one flip per transformation is available. If you want to flip according to both axes then provide two separate transformations. |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| resize | {
height: number,
width: number
} | Values correspond to the result image dimensions. If you specify only one value, the other will be calculated automatically to preserve image ratio. |
| Name | Type | Description |
