Generate thumbnails from uploaded videos via file input in React - reactjs

I have a video uploading part in my React app where a user uploads multiple videos(.mp4) and the thumbnails of selected videos are displayed before they are sent to the server. Through searching, I could find https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/file/dndfiles/, but it is for generating thumbnails for uploaded images.

How to reduce loading time for displaying preview of pdf file in react-pdf

I want to show pdf file preview as an image in React.js using react-pdf library.
I am getting pdf file from online URL and it shows the preview image correctly now. But the loading time seems to be too long and I want to reduce it.
I think the library load the whole pdf file with all pages. Is they any way I can load only one page for preview image so, I can reduce the loading time?

React File Preview (FIREBASE)

I currently have files stored in Firebase Storage. I want to be able to generate a file preview for each file in real time (mapping).
For example, a PDF files will show the first page as an image, a .docx will be the first page of the document, a pptx will be the first slide, an unknown document will be a default document symbol.
Anyone know any good services for easy integration into React ES6?

How to store images in firebase using URL from cloud storage service?

Hi I am developing an ionic app using firebase as my database.
I read this question.
I understand it and have a more specific question.
I uploaded an image on amazon s3, imgur and filestack, and tried all three in firebase using data:url/<the url of image> and data:image/jpeg;<url of image>.
Am I typing something wrong into firebase?
The image does not come up. I do not want to write code in the app to upload the image etc, I just simply want an image to display on the app beside some data corresponding to an item in my firebase database.
I have read about base64, do I have to use it in this case?
(Optional) Perhaps If you could expand on the steps of doing this:
"You can use a filepicker to get the image file. Then you can host the image however you want, i prefer amazon s3. Once the image is hosted you can display the image using the url generated for the image."
I don't have much ionic experience, but why not just save the direct path to the image url and not include the data:url/ portion.
Simply store the url in firebase and then when it's retrieved inject it into your img src.

File upload and download - Angular with Node

I am working on project where I have to store a file/img/pdf for a particular user instance and retrieve the files when the user logged in.
So the theme is, whenever user uploads a file it should be populated in his screen like profile pictures, invoice PDF's etc.,
Moreover, I just want to perform a carousel slideshow of uploaded images by user.
I came through several baked in modules such as ng-file-upload in angular and I was successful in uploading files too but how can I retrieve the particular file from the server and display them to user?
What is the best practice to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
