Overview
The image_gallery_saver package is a Flutter plugin that enables saving images to the device's gallery on both Android and iOS. It provides a simple API to store byte data or file paths as images in the system's photo library. On iOS, users must add specific keys to the Info.plist file to grant access permissions.
