+#### Example
+
+Loading a thumbnail:
+
+```javascript
+export default function Thumbnail(props) {

+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const getThumbnail = async () => {
+      const options = {

+        targetSize: {
+          height: 80,
+          width: 80
+        },
+        quality: 1.0
+      };
+
+      const thumbnailResponse = await CameraRoll.getPhotoThumbnail(props.image.uri, options);
+
+      setBase64Image(thumbnailResponse.thumbnailBase64);
+    };
+
+    getThumbnail();
+  }, []);
+
+  const extension = props.image.extension;
+  let prefix;
+
+  switch (extension) {
+    case 'png':
+      prefix = 'data:image/png;base64,';
+      break;
+    default:
+      //all others can use jpeg
+      prefix = 'data:image/jpeg;base64,';
+      break;
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <Image
