You can use the Camera plugin and set the sourceType to pull in from the users photo library, rather than using the camera itself.

use this image picker plug-in. It uses ng-cordova . I have used this in 2 of my ionic applications.

It is very simple to get image from gallery.

First install plugin:
ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-camera

Than use this:

let options = {
    destinationType   : Camera.DestinationType.DATA_URL,
    sourceType        : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY
};

navigator.camera.getPicture(
    (data)  => {
      let image = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + data;
    },
    (error) => {  },
    options
);

Well, with that solution you can only pick one image at a time. With the image picker plugin you can select multiple images at a time. So it depends on what you need really.

how do I get it to show in an <img afterwards? using ā€œimageā€ as the source? or ā€œdata:image/jpeg;base64,ā€

this works for me as well.
And the picture layout looks better than image picker in ios.

Thanks.
