I'm using Expo (React Native) and Express.js (Node.js) and I'm trying to develop an app that can take pictures and store them on the server.

So far, I have completed all this, but I want to make sure the server isn't overrun from really high quality photos that smartphones can take nowadays.

I tried to look at the documentation for the Expo camera and there is a section for quality, but it's under the CameraPictureOptions which is under the Types section.

I'm not 100% sure how to access these in the code as they don't offer any examples. Really all I need is an example of how to edit the quality of the photos that the Expo camera takes.

You can set the expo-camera captured picture quality by using quality: 0.5, in the takePictureAsync options

 const photo = await cameraRef.takePictureAsync({
    quality: 0.5, // Adjust this value (0.0 - 1.0) for picture quality
    skipProcessing: true, // Set to true to skip processing
 });

skipProcessing is not related to the question but this to faster the camera capture
