I am using this plugin: [https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/native/camera/](https://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/native/camera/) to get an image from camera/photo-library  
Uploading those images take a long time, and I was wondering if there is an option to set a maxHeight and maxWidth for the image, for example 1000x1000, so the image ratio stays whatever it is, and the image compresses to that resolution as for example:  
1920x1080 =\> 1000x562  
1080x1920 =\> 562x1000

Hi,

for this you can use the Image-Resize plugin:

> **[Ionic Framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/image-resizer/)**

Thanks! It seems I will need to calculate the dimensions myself, but that’s no big problem.
