The last one is easy. An image from `Canvas` is already in Base64 format. You just need to use this block

The other two requires either AJAX or Node.js libraries if needed as independent extensions but the `image from photo library` and `image from camera` are already supported by my `Web Viewer` so practically it is all supported.

Once you click on the `Choose File` button you are prompted to select between camera or files in your mobile.
