Ask your Question
Due to the legacy state of the project I am working on, I am forced to use the old RCTCamera module. On iphoneX emulator images come out really big (2160 by 3840). Is there a way to scale images down?

This is also an issue with RNCamera module and I think should be discussed openly on a main issue thread :)

I think on RCTCamera you can use the captureQuality Prop:
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/blob/master/docs/RCTCamera.md#capturequality
On RNCamera you can do the same with the width option:
https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/blob/master/docs/RNCamera.md#takepictureasyncoptions-promise

RCTCamera is removed https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-camera/issues/1890

Migrate to latest version of RNCamera
