Component Image Input for Web App

Hi @Emma_Lopez_Fersa, Welcome to the Retool Community!

There isn't a direct built-in component in Retool for capturing images on the web app version. The Image Input component is only available for Retool Mobile, and the File Button component doesn't work consistently on Windows tablets.

However, you can achieve this using a custom component! By building a custom Webcam component, you can easily capture images using the device's camera on the web app version.

Check out this example we built: Custom Webcam Component for Retool Web Apps

This custom component allows you to:

  • Capture images directly from the webcam
  • Download the captured image
  • Copy the Base64 data for storage or processing
  • Clear the image to capture another one

This approach should work perfectly on a Windows tablet. If you need help getting started or have any questions, feel free to ask! :rocket:
