You can do that with this plugin: https://github.com/terikon/cordova-plugin-photo-library

After adding the plugin, you can save pictures like that:

var url = 'file:///...'; // file or remote URL. url can also be dataURL, but giving it a file path is much faster
var album = 'MyAppName';
cordova.plugins.photoLibrary.saveImage(url, album, function (libraryItem) {}, function (err) {});

var album = 'MyAppName'; If that album 'MyAppName' not in the device ,then will it really work ? – Anuj Sep 01 '17 at 08:56
I'm pretty sure the album will be created if it doesn't exist. – Andreas Gassmann Sep 01 '17 at 10:21
