Hello @sammycri  
One solution is to convert your image to base64 and send it as the body of an API call.  
You need to use a web view with a website where you will upload a picture and the website will return the base64 to the app.  
More information is available in this community post [[Solved] how do I base64 encode an image?](https://community.thunkable.com/t/solved-how-do-i-base64-encode-an-image/1858457)
