Kuika's Photos from Gallery action is used to select photos from your device's gallery and upload them to your app. It allows users to easily share their visual content in your app and transfer their selected photos to the server for processing or storage in your app. By presenting the photo selection process in a user-friendly way, it provides a more fluid and interactive experience in your app. For example, when a user selects a photo from the gallery, this action ensures that the photo is successfully uploaded to the app and processed on the server. In this tutorial, you will learn how to select and upload photos from your gallery using the Photos from Gallery action.

Photos From Gallery action is supported in web and mobile applications.

Configure Photos From Gallery Parameters

Click on the “ + ADD OPTIONAL PARAMETER” (1) drop-down menu.

Configure the following parameter from the drop-down menu:
- Quality: Determines the resolution and size quality of the photo before it is uploaded to the server. High resolution photos can be optimized and reduced to smaller file sizes, and the quality parameter can be adjusted to improve performance and reduce data transfer time to the server. It makes it possible to perform faster processing in your application without reducing the quality of the photo.
