cordova-plugin-save-image

SaveImage

This plugin allows you to save local JPEG image files to the iOS Camera Roll/Photo Library or Android Gallery. Other image mime types are currently not supported. The image file to be saved to the Library/Gallery must be available on the device.

The plugin is based on code seen in several other existing plugins:

1. Canvas2ImagePlugin (https://github.com/devgeeks/Canvas2ImagePlugin) by Tommy-Carlos Williams (https://github.com/devgeeks)
2. ImgDownloader (https://github.com/Nomia/ImgDownloader) by "Nomia" (https://github.com/Nomia)
3. cordova-camera-roll (https://github.com/driftyco/cordova-camera-roll) by Max Lynch (https://github.com/mlynch)

Thanks to all of the above mentioned authors for sharing their code openly.
