|
| 3 |
|
| 4 | This repo is a working rewrite of [this](https://github.com/xfumihiro/react-native-image-to-base64) abandonned library.
|
| 5 | It provides a very simple way to convert an image to a base64 string.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 | If you encounter `OOM` errors on old android devices, make sure you optimize the image's size before you convert it.
|
| 8 | Indeed working with big images on Android might cause very high memory usage.
